Lt. Governor Winsome Sears

Winsome Earle Sears has served in Virginia as a Delegate and on the state’s Board of Education. In January, 2022, she became the state’s Lieutenant Governor. Sears, a Republican, is the first woman to hold that office in Virginia, and the first Black woman and Jamaican-born American elected to a statewide position in the state. In this episode of Watching America, host Dr. Alan Campbell focuses more on Sears’ personality and values than her political outlook.
We also hear a segment of Dr. Campbell’s instructive conversation with Nobel Prize-winning economist, Dr. Paul Romer.
