Friend —
As Mark Warner continues to work hard for every Virginian, our team is committed to sending these weekly updates to keep folks around Virginia up to date with what Mark is focused on in the Senate.
Here’s what Mark is working on right now:
-
Mark’s bi-partisan IMPROVE Well-Being for Veterans Act is headed to the president’s desk to be signed into law. This bill will provide critical mental health resources to veterans, some of whom may be in crisis. Mark recognizes that the high rate of veteran suicides is a national tragedy, and is focused on making sure that servicemembers have the tools and resources they need to begin the lengthy healing process when they return from deployment.
-
As early voting begins around the country, Mark is pushing the intelligence community to release more information about foreign interference in our elections. Although they are more equipped to counter attacks than in 2016, Mark believes a well informed American electorate is our best defense in keeping our elections fair.
-
Mark asked the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study the impact of increased use of subcontracted and contingent workers to perform tasks previously done by full-time employees. Mark is concerned that the effects of increased subcontracted workers limits paths for upward mobility in the U.S. workforce.
-
On Wednesday, Mark participated in the first Virginia Senate debate against his GOP opponent. Mark discussed his proven track record of delivering tangible results for the Commonwealth, and charted a path forward to ensure we protect progress in Virginia and ensure every Virginian has a fair shot at success. His opponent, on the other hand, proved to Virginians that he will just be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s agenda if elected.
— The next debate will be at Norfolk State University on October 3rd.

On Thursday, Mark participated in a town hall discussion on gun violence prevention with Rep. Jennifer Wexton, Lori Haas, Senior Director of Advocacy at The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and Shannon Watts, Founder of Moms Demand Action.
