U.S. SENATE
Virginia

Vote 1
RACE 202

In the 2014 election, democratic incumbent Mark Warner won the office by a very narrow margin — about 1% — to Republican political operative Ed Gillespie. No one expected the race to be this close in 2014. It should be noted that a republican has not taken a Virginia U.S. Senate seat in Virginia since 2002 (John Warner took it then).

Mark Warner (D-incumbent)
He is the incumbent and has held this office since 2008. He is seeking his 3rd term. Before serving in the Senate, Warner served as the Governor of Virginia from 2002-2006 and chairman of the National Governors Association 2004-2005. Previously, Warner was an entrepreneur and executive in the technology industry. https://markwarnerva.com/
