Spanberger will certainly address that. Here in Virginia, being viciously anti choice is a liability and has been for decades, even when the Old Dominion was still a hardcore Republican state at the Presidential level. I attended a Spanberger house party in McLean last night. One thing that she WILL have to address - she hemmed and hawed on it - is whether or not she supports efforts to repeal so called "right to work" here. Terry McAuliffe was absolutely hammered on this issue four years ago, and Earle-Sears will absolutely address it.
I think Spanberger may be in a better position than McAuliffe to address this concern about the right-to-work law but certainly the earlier the better. No disrespect to McAuliffe but he's better as a Democratic Party fundraiser and operative than he is an politician.
Now that she's out of Congress and on the campaign trail primarily focused on the gubernatorial race, Spanberger will be able to address this early on.
I'm not sure if support for RTW(FL) repeal is a political liability in today's Virginia. It certainly was in the past, which is why both Mark Warner and Tim Kaine openly supported this law in their runs for Governor in 2001 and 2005. However, Virginia is now a bluer state, so I'm not sure that supporting the repeal of this law is a liability.
To my knowledge, there hasn't been a poll recently that measures how Virginia voters feel about RTW(FL) laws, but I'd be curious to see one. Any such poll, though, would have to explain to respondents what these laws actually entail, since I imagine most people out there don't actually know that.
