Sears or Earle-Sears

Since there is a dispute on which last name should be used for the lieutenant governor. Let's gather a consensus before a full scale edit war.

I argue we should use the name Earle-Sears for the lieutenant governor's last name. Here is why.

The media uses it as her last name as seen here[1] [2][3]
The lieutenant governor herself uses it in her official compacity as seen here [4]
She uses the name on her campaign website as seen here.[5]

I agree that that we should use Earle-Sears, per the rationale of the OP. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 04:16, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree that Earle-Sears should be used. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 18:08, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
