Carlo Acutis Approved for Canonization
In the second part of the 2025 Election, we recap the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. Both states elected their first women to run the state for the next four years.
These two women are not for women, though they claim to be cheerleaders for “women’s rights”. For a recap on the first article of the series, read it here
It comes as no surprise that Republican voters sit out a crucial election in their own state. Voters tend to think an election happens every four years, but underestimate the elections that will have bigger outcomes on the city and state levels.
It comes as no surprise that New Jersey and Virginia can teach us as to why it is crucial to vote during every given election and how we must appeal to voters of every party to vote for the strongest candidate with a clear conscience, not by gender, color, or orientation.
New Jersey
New Jersey has been riddled by Governor Murphy’s overreach of high taxes, men pretending to be women to take part in sports, and making the state a “haven” for abortion, to name a few.
The Garden State elected former Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill, a Navy helicopter pilot. Governor-elect Sherrill was exposed for a scandal from her time attending the Naval Academy when it was revealed that she had cheated and was told not to walk during the commencement exercises. With Sherill’s victory over Ciaterrelli, she will run with the baton once carried by her soon-to-be predecessor.
Yet, it didn’t hurt her as she ran on issues that gauged a female voter base at 70%. Sherrill was a DEI vote by women who have been misguided by the lies brought about by the media and even indoctrination.
In 2026, Cory Booker, the man who race-baited for more than 24 hours and made history with the longest filibuster, is up for re-election. If Republicans want to make him vulnerable and flip the seat, then they must put forth a strong candidate who will attack Booker’s ideas and make him vulnerable.
Virginia
Old Dominion was another state that saw a historic night for Governor Glenn Younklin’s successor. According to Virginia’s constitution, a governor can’t serve two consecutive terms. Abigail Spangenberger became the first woman to be elected to leave Virginia. Spanberger, like Sherrill, served in Congress and has promoted radical abortion and LGBTQ measures. Virginia is on the cusp of continuing to allow abortion in their state.
Both Spanberger and Sherrill claim to be champions for women. Yet, they are okay for men who are women to play in women’s sports, abortion up to birth (which hurts women with a lifetime of regret), and even allowing illegals to be harbored in our country.
A majority of women in both states carried them to the finish line. Sadly, the Republican voters in each state sat out. They will face judgment if they don’t repent of this mortal sin. This is far from being a celebration of women's history. Rather, a true woman would model the Blessed Mother and the heroic examples of many of the saints in the Catholic Church.
Every given election has consequences, and this should serve as a wake-up call with midterm elections less than a year away.
Pray for God’s mercy on these two states and the newly elected governors who will bring about a culture of death.
