As we told you last night, Glenn Youngin was not the only Republican winner last night. Meet Winsome Sears, Virginia’s next Lieutenant Governor:

I've seen enough: Winsome Sears (R) defeats Hala Ayala (D) in the Virginia lieutenant governor's race. #VAGOV

She is the first Black woman elected statewide in Virginia:

Where’s the media coverage?

PREDICTION: Media will not obsess over the fact that Winsome Sears just became the first Black woman elected to Lt. Governor of Virginia because she is a Republican.

Never change, guys:

Neither CNN nor MSNBC are airing Virginia's Republican Lt. Governor-elect Winsome Sears' victory speech.

Like we said in the headline, bada**:

Shouldn't media be all over a black woman who immigrated from Jamaica, served in the Marines, has a Masters degree, ran a homeless women's shelter, raised 3 kids, and is now running to be the highest ranking minority woman gov't official in Virginia history?

And you’ll see more of photos like this in the coming years we trust:
