The two candidates vying to succeed Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) as Virginia‘s next governor have less than two months to convince voters to cast a ballot in their favor in an off-year election.

With early voting starting on Sept. 19, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R-VA) is trailing former Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who is hoping to flip the governor’s mansion. Both candidates are aiming to be the first woman to serve in the chief executive role.
