Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger will be the state's first female governor. She is still digesting that fact and what it means. Spanberger says young women and children have expressed their excitement for Virginia's historic moment. The former congresswoman also says she is still realizing her historic role when she sees photos of the male governors before her. Spanberger says she is helming Virginia for a turbulent moment for the state. She says fewer federal dollars will be flowing to Virginia and that there may be a leaner state budget in the years ahead. She is seemingly ready to lead the state as it’s up against new terrain.
