CITY, State (Fox News) — Virginia Democrats under Gov. Abigail Spanberger are implementing a series of policies that threaten to erode the progress made during Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration.

## Budget Surplus Drained for Social Programs and Tax Hikes
Since Youngkin’s term ended, Democrats are expanding costly social programs and imposing unnecessary tax hikes on middle- and lower-class Virginians, jeopardizing the state’s economic stability.

## Democrats Pushing for New Taxes on Everyday Activities
Virginia Democrats are proposing dozens of new tax hikes on services like dog walking, dry cleaning, and even owning electric leaf blowers, making everyday life more expensive for working Virginians.

## Assault on Second Amendment Rights and Constitutional Changes
In addition to tax hikes, Democrats are targeting Second Amendment rights and working to rewrite Virginia’s constitution to advance their political agenda at the expense of Virginians’ values.

## Concerns Over California-Style Policies
Spanberger’s approach mirrors radical left-wing policies seen in California and New York City, which led to an exodus of residents seeking better economic conditions and quality of life.

## Calls for Commonsense Policies to Improve Virginians’ Lives
Critics argue that the Democrats’ agenda will increase costs, hinder job growth, and ultimately harm families, workers, and businesses in Virginia.

Former police officer, detective, and Army Ranger Bryce Reeves, now a VA State Senator, raises concerns about the long-term consequences of the decisions being made in Virginia.
