Mark Earley, a Republican elected to the Virginia State House in 2024 representing the state’s 73rd House district, posted a series of tweets on April 15 and 16, 2026, criticizing Democratic leadership and urging voters to oppose certain political figures.

On April 15, Earley wrote: “Complete Democrat control.

Complete dysfunction.”

Later that day, he referenced several national Democratic figures in another post: “Gavin Newsom? Elizabeth Warren? Eric Holder? Hakeem Jeffries? Jon Favreau?

My goodness they’re desperate.

Vote NO and Save Virginia!”

On April 16, Earley addressed California’s policies and living conditions: “Thanks but no thanks.

You can stay in California with the highest taxes, highest electricity costs, worst housing market, & horrific crime.”

Earley’s statements reflect ongoing partisan debate within Virginia politics following his election in 2024 to replace Rodney Willett as representative for the state’s 73rd House district.
