I like Youngkin. However, I wish it wasn't legal to run for office if you're currently serving in a position that you were elected to when your current job wouldn't be over until after the next one starts. You made a commitment to serve in a particular role, you should honor it.
Funnily enough, I don't like Youngkin and there's no one the Republicans can run that isn't dog whistle milquetoast or Donald Trump. What they need to do is get in a time machine and change everything they have stood for over the 30 years.
Maybe if you know nothing about him because you don’t live in Virginia and he’s less crazy than Ron or Trump. Easy sign is, weed was voted legal here and he’s done everything in his power to prevent legal sales. Can’t even but delta-8 anymore.
I do live in Virginia. Have for 15 years. You can legally possess up to an ounce of weed in Virginia, not a fan of him blocking weed sales but that's not the only thing I vote about. Not saying he's perfect, I just prefer him over alternatives.
What do you like Youngkin for? What actually good has he done?
Well I liked his campaign and favored him over his opponent McAuliffe. Additionally I'm in favor of a lot of the bills that he's signed into law.

HB 1526 (Coyner) and SB 1175 https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?231+sum+HB1526
