With a Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee still uncertain as ballots are being counted, candidate Pete Snyder jumped into general election mode with an ad attacking Democratic gubernatorial front-runner, former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, on his relationship with teachers unions.

“Politician Terry McAuliffe stood silent while special interests and teachers unions locked our kids out of their classrooms,” said a narrator in the ad, first provided to the Washington Examiner. “Why? Because McAuliffe has raised millions of dollars in campaign cash from the same union bosses who shut down our schools.”
