News Corp is a global, diversified media and information services company focused on creating and distributing authoritative and engaging content and other products and services.

As lieutenant governor, he supported efforts to functionally end veteran homelessness in Virginia. Ralph chairs the Commonwealth Council on Childhood Success, where he helped secure a federal grant to create up to 13, pre-K education spots for children in low-income families and advocated for greater access to prenatal care.

This has led to a reduction in the unemployment rate, and , additional net new jobs added to the Virginia workforce. Ralph has balanced these efforts by calling for fiscal responsibility through government efficiency and balanced state budgets.

Northam said, "I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now. I am ready to do that important work.
The first step is to offer my sincerest apology and to state my absolute commitment to living up to the expectations Virginians set for me when they elected me to be their Governor. On February 2, upon further inspection of the photo, Northam said, "I am not either of the people in that photo. I stand by my statement of apology to the many Virginians who were hurt by seeing this content on a yearbook page that belongs to me.

What is your general philosophy when it comes to economics, jobs, and growth? Do you have any more specific ideas related to these concepts? Northam has a number of specific proposals to help make this a reality.
Every Virginian should have the opportunity to gain further education or training. That means encouraging participation in industry certification programs, community colleges, and apprenticeship programs, and other advanced training. Ralph is committed to working with both businesses and community colleges to ensure there is a local training option for every available job.
He also believes the final two years of high school should provide apprenticeships and job training for students who do not want to attend a four year college. Ralph believes our education system must create a pipeline from high school to community college, higher education, or a good paying job. Not only would this encourage students to stay in school and graduate, but it would also encourage employers to locate in Virginia, a commonwealth with good schools and a skilled workforce waiting for them.
A Northam administration will continue to support high school redesign efforts started under Gov. McAuliffe, and coupled with programs like Dr. Northam's proposed G3 Program Get a Job — Get Skilled — Give Back , Virginia's students will have the resources they need to be prepared for the jobs of the 21st century.
Businesses are attracted to well-governed states. He also supported tax relief for Virginia homeowners. Ralph supports a complete audit of state operations because taxpayers deserve to know their money is being spent wisely. To ensure economic opportunity for everyone — no matter who you are, no matter where you live, a level playing field must exist between men and women.
Ralph Northam is committed to making this a reality in Virginia because what's good for women is good for our entire commonwealth. Ensuring that women are paid the same as men is a moral and economic imperative. Currently, women are paid 78 cents on the dollar compared to men, yet they are the primary breadwinners in 38 percent of Virginia families. As governor, Ralph will fight for a law to make salary information more transparent, so women can fight discriminatory pay practices when they occur, rather than after the fact.
In the past year, under Governor McAuliffe and Lt. Governor Northam, Virginia has doubled the number of veterans placed in jobs through the Virginia Values Veterans program. Ralph also supported legislation to establish a program to connect returning military medics to private sector healthcare jobs. As an Army doctor, Ralph knows medics are highly qualified for such positions, having training and field experience with a variety of traumatic wounds.
Ralph will continue to grow these programs until there is no longer any veteran joblessness in Virginia, just as veteran homelessness has been functionally eradicated. Are there any healthcare policies, actual or hypothetical, that you have an opinion on?
In the richest country in the world, no family should be one medical emergency or illness away from financial demise. Ralph was disappointed that his opponent would not join him in decrying the obvious -- the recent bills put forth by Republicans in Congress would have harmed Virginians and could have thrown , people in our Commonwealth off their health insurance. We have all the tools to lead and innovate on making access to quality, affordable healthcare real for thousands of Virginians.
As governor, Dr. Northam will keep fighting to expand Medicaid in the commonwealth and work to close our coverage gap for good. Ralph is committed to fighting for Virginia women, especially their right to quality, affordable healthcare.
As a physician, Ralph believes women's healthcare choices are personal and best left between a woman and her doctor—not politicians in Richmond or Washington, DC. Ralph will fight for women so they can decide when to start a family, and he is an advocate for expanding access to long-acting reversible contraceptives like IUDs, as well as protecting a woman's right to safe, legal abortion.
As a state senator, Ralph led the fight against the invasive transvaginal ultrasound mandate and opposed legislation that would limit access to women's health clinics. Ralph is proud to have a percent rating from Planned Parenthood.
Ralph fought against personhood legislation that would have effectively blocked women from accessing many types of contraception and in vitro fertilization. Ralph has never wavered on choice and he never will. Ralph will continue to be a brick wall, stopping attacks on reproductive rights and access to healthcare. A similar program in Colorado saw teen birth rates drop by 40 percent and teen abortions by 42 percent. This legislative session, Republicans stripped the funding at the request of right-wing anti-abortion groups despite the fact it used no state funding.
As governor, Ralph will make implementing this program, and increasing access to it if we experience similar success to Colorado, a priority. Through public and private sources, we can expand access to LARCs to ensure that income is not a barrier for Virginia women seeking affordable contraception. Luntz said Biden's favorability ratings are falling fast in Virginia, but they're not as low as former President Donald Trump 's numbers. The pollster said this race is not necessarily a referendum on Biden or Trump.
By contrast, Youngkin has eschewed virtually all public campaign visits from well-known Republicans, including Trump. Neither tack has really moved the needle. Early voting numbers in the commonwealth hit record highs ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.
