"In case you haven't noticed, I am Black. And I have been Black all my life, but that's not what this is about. What we are going to do now is be about the business of the Commonwealth. We have things to tend to. We are going to fully fund our historically Black colleges and universities. We're going to have safer neighborhoods, safer communities, and our children are going to get a good education." Lt. Gov-elect of Virginia, Winsome Sears
