"With less than two weeks to go until a hotly contested gubernatorial election in Virginia, the Republican candidate, whom her Democratic opponent's campaign calls "so far right, she's wrong for Virginia," is trying to appeal to a broad swath of voters. However, newly unearthed campaign-finance records, obtained by The Advocate, show that Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle‑Sears donated thousands of dollars to a far-right Christian organization that has described in vitro fertilization as "child trafficking.""
"On September 29, Earle‐Sears's campaign committee, Winsome for Governor, made a $1,800 charitable donation to The Family Foundation, a Richmond-based extreme anti-LGBTQ+ advocacy group that opposes marriage equality, supports so-called "conversion therapy," and in blog posts has described IVF as immoral and compared it to "child trafficking." The contribution is documented on page 54 of the campaign's schedule filed with the Virginia State Board of Elections."
With under two weeks until the Virginia gubernatorial election, Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle‑Sears is seeking broader voter appeal. Campaign-finance records show her campaign committee, Winsome for Governor, made a $1,800 charitable donation on September 29 to The Family Foundation, a Richmond-based far-right Christian advocacy group. The Family Foundation opposes marriage equality, supports so-called "conversion therapy," has called IVF immoral and compared it to "child trafficking," and advocates banning abortion, repealing no-fault divorce, and overturning protections for LGBTQ+ Virginians. The contribution is documented on page 54 of the campaign schedule filed with the Virginia State Board of Elections.
