On Wednesday, Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin participated in an event with former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley in McLean, Virginia to discuss a variety of topics. The campaign between Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe has gained national attention as of late.
Youngkin also spoke with Townhall before the event, specifically about how young people can get involved with the campaign, which is through the Students for Glenn Youngkin coalition. This is for students as well as those involved in Young Republican groups.
When it comes to the issues young people have shared they care most about, Youngkin told Townhall that it is to do with "the durability of our economy and jobs and cost of living." He continued that "folks just want to have an opportunity to live their career dream in Virginia, and they're worried they have to go some place else to do it." Youngkin offered that "this is just reflective of the fact that our job creation has not really kept pace with our peer states." Young people have told Youngkin that they're moving to places such as Nashville, North Carolina, Texas, or Charleston.
