In Virginia politics, non-candidate political action committees (PACs) have received $188.4 million in total donations between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. The top 10 PACs raised more than $111.3 million, or 59 percent of all donations made to state-level PACs.

Last month, voters in Virginia elected Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin as the state’s new governor to replace Democrat Ralph Northam. With the election of Youngkin, voters chose a Republican as their governor for the first time since 2014, in a state Joe Biden carried in 2020 by over 10 points.
