"Youngkin made it okay for independents and Democrats to vote Republican," said Karina Lipsman, the Republican nominee for Virginia's 8th congressional district. "People want change and focusing on common sense solutions is really what people want, they don't want the partisan politics."
Youngkin, who has garnered a national profile despite being in office less than nine months, won Virginia's governorship in an upset last year, despite having never run for office before. The former business executive bested a popular ex-governor in a race that took on national proportions.
