Glen Sturtevant, a public figure and former Virginia state senator, made several statements on his X (formerly Twitter) account on October 9, 2025, addressing issues related to campus protests, political endorsements, and local school board meetings.
In a post published at 13:16 UTC, Sturtevant questioned the absence of demonstrators, writing, “Where are the Ceasefire protestors? Why aren’t they celebrating in the streets and on the campus of UVA? Very strange.”
Later that day, at 13:51 UTC, Sturtevant criticized the Virginia Police Benevolent Association (VPBA) for maintaining its endorsement of Abigail Spanberger, a U.S. Representative for Virginia’s 7th congressional district, while Jay Jones remained on the ticket. Sturtevant stated, “Why is the Virginia Police Benevolent Association still supporting Spanberger when she lets Jay Jones continue on the ticket? He called for killing cops. The VPBA need to withdraw their Spanberger endorsement asap.” The VPBA is known for endorsing candidates it views as supportive of law enforcement.
In another post at 17:23 UTC, Sturtevant encouraged community involvement in local education policy, urging, “Folks in Albemarle should show up to this School Board meeting and speak out.” Albemarle County has seen increased public participation in school board meetings in recent years, reflecting broader trends of community engagement with education issues across Virginia.
Sturtevant’s comments reflect ongoing debates in Virginia over political endorsements, campus activism, and school governance.
