Glenn Youngkin was sworn in as the Governor of Virginia this weekend, along with Lt. Governor Winsome Sears and the rest of their team.
Youngkin didn’t waste any time. He began to implement his agenda immediately.
People are hopeful that Youngkin and Sears are going to make a lot of necessary changes in Virginia, and they’re already off on the right foot.

Glenn Youngkin and Company Start Things off by Going Scorched Earth in Virginia
Glenn Youngkin, Winsome Sears, and Jason Miyares will be sworn in today, marking a sea-change of leadership in Virginia. More importantly, because actions ultimately matter, the three Republicans are already looking to take big steps toward fixing the mess left behind by Democrat Ralph Northam’s administration.
On his first day in office, Youngkin is going to sign an order to eliminate the state-wide mask mandate for children in schools. That’s in response to the overwhelming amount of data that masks in schools have been one of the most useless, asinine policies of the COVID-19 pandemic…
Further, Youngkin also announced the hiring of outspoken anti-CRT voice Jillian Balow as Education Superintendent, which will hopefully help to rein in the state’s rogue school boards. Clearly, things aren’t going the way Larry Hogan’s administration went in Maryland.
Look at what he did on his first day.
Youngkin’s Day 1 Executive Orders, per his office, include:
– Ban CRT
– parents decide if kids wear masks in school
– declare VA open for business
– end vax mandate for state employees
– investigate Loudoun County
– fire parole board
– leave green house gas initiative
