Virginians should understand why this fundamental worker protection has served our state so well — and why eliminating it would harm both workers and businesses.

“Right-to-work” isn’t about freedom or choice. It’s a corporate scam dressed up in red, white and blue.

How will Abigail Spanberger answer the inevitable question about running mate Jay Jones’ text messages? And how hard will Winsome Earle-Sears go after the frontrunner?

In past negotiations, both parties would sit down, lay out their priorities, and hammer out a compromise that reflected common ground. That’s how governing is supposed to work.

The Democratic move to attempt to force Republicans to place long-term programs within a short-term Continuing Resolution is not serious governance, but political posturing.

The Democratic candidate for governor responded in writing to 25 questions posed by Cardinal’s staff, although her answers were often vague. The Republican did not respond at all.

Virginia appears to have a growing disconnect between the talent it produces through its college system and the talent it retains through the marketplace. The Virginia Business Higher Education Council sees more internships as the key.

Over the course of her campaign, Earle-Sears has refused to face Virginians, attend her own events or answer simple questions about where she stands. 

Spanberger owes Virginians an explanation for why she still supports Jones’ candidacy. Does she really trust that he has the temperament and moral character to fairly enforce our laws when he openly wished death on children?

This fits a pattern where Earle-Sears has avoided taking about most issues. Her silence on issues is unprecedented in modern Virginia history.
