The son of a World War II Marine veteran, Mark Warner grew up in a working-class household. He attended good public schools and was the first person in his family to graduate from college – putting himself through George Washington University through a combination of jobs and student loans. In the Senate, Mark has worked tirelessly to strengthen America’s economy and solve problems for Virginia families. He spearheaded the largest infrastructure investments in half a century, significantly expanded Virginia’s domestic manufacturing, and has fought to lower health care costs. In 2021, Mark became Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, where he has emerged as a key leader in protecting the highest levels of America’s national security.

"America needs a government that works for everyone. We need jobs that pay enough to support a family, affordable health care, and an education system that helps children thrive while creating a strong workforce for the nation." "Ben Cline enables Donald Trump because he wants to keep his job (and his cushy healthcare plan). As a result, Cline and his colleagues have given away their power and constitutional duty to be an independent branch of government. I’m running to be part of a Congress that leads again—one that supports working people who are struggling to make ends meet and striving for a better life." "The time has come to say ENOUGH to Ben Cline and all the ways he serves billionaires while never lifting a finger to help working Virginians."
