Why This Matters
Federal Worker Targeting:
Trump's plan to slash 144,000+ federal jobs in Virginia directly threatens your employment if you work for any federal agency or contractor
Economic Disruption:
Massive federal job cuts in Northern Virginia would crash local housing prices and business revenues, affecting your property values and investment portfolios
Historical Pattern:
Virginia has elected governors from the opposite party of the sitting president since 1977 - breaking this pattern would signal unusual Trump strength or Democratic weakness
Abortion Access:
Earle-Sears opposes abortion rights while Spanberger supports them, determining whether Virginia women retain reproductive healthcare access
Military Impact:
Trump's federal cuts could affect Virginia's massive military presence, potentially reducing defense contracts that support your local job market
