Back To School Haul: New School Supply List Highlights Sears' Extreme Record

August 8, 2025

List includes: notebook to practice writing “morally opposed,” scissors to cut funding for public education, and a calculator to keep track of jobs lost 

VIRGINIA - As Virginia students start a new school year, Virginia Democrats compiled a school supply list to ensure that Winsome Earle-Sears has everything she needs for her extreme agenda that includes supporting legislation that would cut funding from Virginia’s public schools and working to defund public education.   

Here’s What to Know About Sears’ Extreme Agenda: 

  • Sears has a long record of supporting legislation that would cut funding from Virginia’s public schools.
  • After praising Trump’s tax bill saying it “does so many great things,” Sears told the 322,000 Virginians who are being stripped of their health care and six rural hospitals that will be forced to close as a result of the law, “don’t panic.”
  • Sears supports an extreme six week abortion ban similar to the law that took effect in Texas that bans abortion before most women know they are pregnant.
    • Sears told Virginia women “we need to make our choices before we’re pregnant, not, you know, after, you already made a choice,” and left a handwritten note that she is “morally opposed to this bill [...]” on the constitutional amendment that would protect reproductive freedom in Virginia, including contraception, abortion, and IVF. 
  • Sears has defended Trump’s attacks on Virginia’s workforce and economy and she would help Trump “get the job done” if she were governor. 
  • Sears was caught on tape dismissing and laughing off the attacks on Virginia jobs saying “the media is making it out to be a huge, huge thing… and I don’t understand why.” 
  • Sears also left a handwritten note on a bill protecting marriage equality that she is “morally opposed” to the legislation and Sears doubled down on her opposition to marriage equality and refused to say that she would support anything other than civil unions for same-sex couples.
  • Reporting exposed that Sears ripped off customers of her small business and then attacked them after they left reviews complaining about her business practices and lack of professionalism.
