Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), who was elected to be the next governor of Virginia and the state’s first female governor, claimed that voters in the state “chose pragmatism over partisanship.”
“Tonight, we sent a message,” Spanberger told her crowd of supporters after several outlets called the election in her favor. “We sent a message to every corner of the Commonwealth. A message to our neighbors, and our fellow Americans across the country. We sent a message to the whole world that in 2025, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship.”
“We chose our Commonwealth over chaos,” Spanberger added. “You all chose leadership that will focus relentlessly on what matters most, lowering costs, keeping our communities safe, and strengthening our economy for every Virginian. Leadership that will focus on problem-solving, not stoking division. You chose, we chose, leadership that will always put Virginia first.”
Spanberger’s comments claiming that her voters picked “pragmatism over partisanship” come as a Heritage Action scorecard shows Spanberger with a five percent session score and a five percent lifetime score.
