The Democratic Party boasted on social media about the fact that teachers were the No. 1 “DNC donor-reported occupation” this year—a move that critics say Republicans should use in future campaign ads.
"Fun fact: The number one DNC donor-reported occupation this year is a teacher," the Democrats said on Twitter.
The confirmation comes just weeks after Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Virginia’s gubernatorial election in a race where education was among the top issues to voters.
This tweet should be in every republican add for 2022.

Apparently clueless as to how voters felt about the education issue, Mculiffe brought in American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, who kept schools closed for over a year, as his final surrogate. The decision had disastrous effects on children.
Terry McAuliffe is making closing arguments to Virginia voters alongside Randi Weingarten, the teachers union head who kept schools closed longer than necessary.
