As Democrats wage an aggressive public campaign to convince Virginia voters to redraw the states congressional maps ahead of November, some Republicans complain the states most prominent GOP figure is missing from their counterattacks: former Gov. Glenn Youngkin, the Wall Street Journal reports.
A group of House Republicans approached Youngkin in November, shortly before he left office, and implored him to help campaign against the voter referendum, they say. They want to see Youngkin, a former co-chief executive officer of the Carlyle Group, help with fundraising, ad messaging and other efforts to drive their voters to turn out. But so far, Youngkin hasnt engaged in raising money or appeared in ads to drive opposition to the Democratic plan.
