Virginia’s Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears filed her bid this week to replace Gov. Glenn Youngkin as the state’s leader next year, after Youngkin’s term officially ends.
Sears is the first Republican to enter the governor’s race for 2025, but Virginia Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger filed her own bid for the governor’s mansion last year. Virginia law restricts governors from serving back-to-back terms.
The lieutenant governor’s petition to run for the state’s top slot has been accepted by the Virginia Department of Elections, according to The Hill. If Sears wins next year, she would be Virginia’s first female governor, and the country’s first black female governor.
“The future of the Commonwealth of Virginia is here, and it starts today,” Sears posted to X on Thursday. “I’m excited, honored, and humbled to announce that I am running to serve as your next governor.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
