EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears was officially named the Republican Party’s gubernatorial nominee on Tuesday evening, and during an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, she described herself as "not a very conventional candidate."

She said her goal is to reach voters across the political spectrum while working to keep Virginia’s historic state capitol – America’s oldest – under Republican leadership.
