EXCLUSIVE: GOP Group Unveils Video Slamming VA Democrats For Treating Tax Cuts As Joke

The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), a group working to elect down-ballot Republican candidates, unveiled a new video Tuesday morning slamming Virginia Democratic lawmakers’ opposition to enacting new tax cuts.

The RSLC’s 30-second video, titled “Tax Laughs,” urges Virginia residents to reject Democratic candidates running for elections in November over their refusal to support tax relief, according to background on the video obtained by the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. The Republican group rolled out a memo on May 13 arguing that Republican candidates can be successful in the Commonwealth’s 2025 state legislative races by highlighting state Democrats’ “broken promises” on taxes, crime and education.

“We asked Virginia Democrat legislators, ‘What’s the top priority for Virginia families?’” the video’s narrator says in the style of the long-running television show “Family Feud.”

“Bringing down the cost of living? Getting rid of sanctuary cities?” the narrator continues. “Their answer… no tax cuts! Virginia Democrats think tax relief is a joke. Let’s elect leaders who take tax relief seriously.”

The RSLC observes in their recent memo that Virginia’s 2025 state legislative elections could present “significant challenges” for Republican candidates due to Democrats likely attempts to make each race about President Donald Trump’s popularity in the Commonwealth. The president’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts have disproportionately impacted Virginia, which has one of the highest percentage of federal workers in the country.
