Abigail Spanberger and the EXTREME Democrat Agenda Reshaping Virginia
For years, Abigail Spanberger has sold herself as a “moderate,” a supposed firewall against the radical wing of her party. That branding collapses the moment one looks at the legislative agenda Democrats are aggressively pushing while holding power in Virginia — an agenda Spanberger votes with, campaigns alongside, fundraises for, and politically enables.
This is not incremental reform. This is ideological overhaul.
A Relentless Tax Assault on Everyday Virginians
Democrats aligned with Spanberger have introduced a sweeping tax regime that reaches into nearly every aspect of daily life:
New sales taxes on deliveries from services like Uber Eats, Amazon, and similar platforms
New sales taxes on admissions across a wide range of businesses and events
New personal property taxes on landscaping and commercial equipment
Higher hotel taxes, directly harming tourism and hospitality workers
Creation of new income tax brackets of 8% and 10%, some of the highest in the region
A 10% tax on anyone earning over $1 million, paired with a 3.8% investment tax on top of state income taxes
This is not “fair share” rhetoric — it is a deliberate expansion of government dependency fueled by punishing taxes that ultimately get passed down to consumers, renters, and small businesses.
Election System Manipulation Disguised as “Access”
The Democrat agenda also targets the election system itself:
Allowing people to cast votes electronically over the internet
Expanding ranked-choice voting, confusing ballots and diluting voter clarity
Extending ballot curing deadlines to one week after Election Day
Extending acceptance of absentee ballots days after elections end
Redacting candidates’ addresses from public records, reducing transparency
Forcing Virginia into the National Popular Vote Compact, surrendering state sovereignty
Making it illegal to hand-count ballots, criminalizing one of the most basic audit tools
These are not neutral changes. They systematically weaken election safeguards while insulating the process from public scrutiny — all while dismissing concerns as “anti-democratic.”
Soft-on-Crime Policies That Put Communities at Risk
Democrats have paired election manipulation with policies that weaken law enforcement and embolden criminal behavior:
Lowering criminal penalties for robbery
Removing mandatory minimum sentences
Banning the arrest of illegal immigrants in courthouses
Shielding offenders from accountability under the guise of “equity”
At a time when Virginians are demanding safer streets, Democrats aligned with Spanberger are doing the opposite — dismantling consequences.
Extreme Gun Control and Financial Punishment of Law-Abiding Citizens
The agenda also includes some of the most aggressive gun restrictions proposed in the country:
Bans on so-called “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines
An 11% sales tax on all firearms and ammunition
A $500 tax on firearm suppressors
Prohibiting outdoor shooting on land under five acres
None of these measures target criminals. Every single one targets lawful gun owners through bans, taxation, and geographic restrictions.
Government Mandates and Cultural Enforcement
The Democrat agenda doesn’t stop at taxes and crime. It reaches deep into culture and daily behavior:
Banning gas-powered leaf blowers
Mandating speed cameras installed by local governments
Guaranteeing illegal aliens free education
Criminalizing approaching someone near an abortion clinic
Replacing Columbus Day with “Indigenous Peoples Day” by force of law
These proposals reflect a governing philosophy rooted in control, compulsion, and ideological conformity — not individual liberty.
The Truth About “Moderate” Democrats
Abigail Spanberger may avoid using the word “progressive,” but the policies she enables are indistinguishable from the most aggressive Democratic experiments nationwide.
Higher taxes.
Weaker elections.
Softer crime enforcement.
Punitive gun control.
Top-down cultural mandates.
This is not moderation.
This is escalation.
And Virginians deserve to know that when Democrats like Spanberger ask for more power, this is the agenda waiting on the other side.
