Abigail Spanberger becomes Virginia's 1st female governor in historic inauguration

Abigail Spanberger is set to take Virginia's top office on Saturday, becoming the first female governor to lead the state, with Democrats regaining control of the seat. Spanberger, a former CIA case officer and member of Congress, defeated Republican Winsome Earle-Sears in November. “For the next generation of kids, it’ll be normal to see a woman in this role, whether it’s doing the joyful things of ribbon cuttings or the hard things of contending with whatever challenges we might be facing into the future,” Spanberger has said.
