In a video he shared, a voter named Dave explains that he voted for Miyares (Republican) for attorney general and for Abigail Spanberger (Democrat) for governor, illustrating the trend of voters choosing candidates individually rather then strictly along party lines. Miyares&#8217;s outreach aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >secure moderate voters amid<\/a> a tight race against Democratic challenger Jay Jones, whose campaign has been hampered by controversy over violent and offensive text messages he sent about political opponents. To attract voters who support Spanberger but are reluctant to back Jones, Miyares released an ad featuring Spanberger distancing herself from Jones&#8217;s remarks. Current polls show Spanberger leading her Republican rival Winsome Earle-Sears for governor, while Miyares is ahead of Jones, suggesting a potential split outcome with a Democrat governor and Republican attorney general. Miyares has expressed willingness to work cooperatively with state leaders irrespective of party affiliation, emphasizing stability and public safety as his priorities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jason Miyares celebrates split-ticket voters as Earle-Sears lags behind Spanberger<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2362104\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/virginia\/\">Virginia<\/a> Attorney General Jason Miyares, engaged in a competitive battle for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/election-2025\/\">reelection<\/a>, made an appeal to split-ticket voters on Tuesday as he seeks to garner last-minute support from moderate voters in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Miyares<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JasonMiyaresVA\/status\/1985726238967669043\"> posted a video<\/a> of him meeting Dave, introduced as a voter in Stafford, who said he cast ballots both for the Republican attorney general and Abigail Spanberger, a former representative running on the Democratic ticket for governor against Lt.
