The article reports that a newly formed legislative watchdog group<\/a>,the Institute for Legislative Advocacy,has labeled Virginia democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger as a “Democratic Socialist” based on her voting record. Despite portraying herself as a centrist, Spanberger’s voting history aligns with far-left members of Congress, including those from the progressive “Squad.” The group’s analysis gave her an ideological rating of 13.75 on a 100-point scale, indicating far-left positions such as supporting increased spending and reducing penalties for violent criminals.<\/p>\n

Spanberger served in Congress from 2019 to 2025 and is currently leading in the Virginia governor’s race against Republican Lt. Gov. winsome Earle-sears. Earle-Sears has criticized Spanberger as a supporter of liberal policies on issues like transgender rights in public schools,allegations Spanberger denies. In turn, Spanberger has attacked Earle-Sears as too far right.<\/p>\n

The Institute for Legislative Advocacy aims to expose liberal voting records of candidates, with Spanberger being its initial focus. Ryan McGowan, the group’s CEO, argues that Spanberger’s record is more extreme than many progressive Democrats and claims the liberal media has obscured this fact. The article notes that Spanberger supports certain federal regulations and environmental measures, including efforts to ban gas-powered vehicles<\/a>.
