EXCLUSIVE: Group Launches Campaign To Warn Virginia Voters Giving Democrats ‘One Party Rule’

The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) unveiled a six-figure ad buy on Monday to warn voters of awarding unified control of Virginia to Democrats ahead of the commonwealth’s Nov. 4 general election.

The 30-second spot, running as early voting is underway, urges viewers to reject Democratic candidates who would decide the commonwealth’s immigration enforcement, energy and schools’ bathroom and locker room policies if elected in November. The ad campaign comes as Republicans are looking to defy a trend in Virginia’s off-year elections, which tends to benefit the party who does not control the White House.

Republicans are hoping to maintain GOP holds in open races for governor and lieutenant governor while flipping control of the House of Delegates. Voters will also choose whether to grant Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares a second term in November.

“If Democrats gain full control of Virginia, they will rush to implement policies that mirror California’s — with higher taxes, lenient approaches to crime, and radical mandates that undermine the authority of parents and local communities,” RSLC President Edith Jorge-Tuñón told the DCNF. “This ad serves as a crucial warning: one-party Democrat leadership in Richmond would impose a far-left agenda with no checks or balances, silencing the voices of everyday Virginians.”

“We are determined to fight back and ensure that common-sense leadership thrives in our Commonwealth,” Jorge-Tuñón added.

The ad campaign is running in Democratic-leaning Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties, which partly comprise the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. and swung toward President Donald Trump in his 2024 election win.

The three counties have largely doubled down after the Trump administration accused their policies of violating civil rights law by allowing biological males to access girls’ spaces and athletic programs. The Department of Education
