💨 Abstract

In the lead-up to Virginia's 2025 elections, the state's diverse Republican ticket faces internal tensions over diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Despite the federal GOP's push to eliminate DEI initiatives, the Virginia Republican ticket is historically diverse, led by John Reid, the first openly gay statewide nominee, and Winsome Earle-Sears, who seeks to be the first female governor.
