2026 Virginia Power 50 List: MARK WARNER
SENATOR, U.S. SENATE, ALEXANDRIA
Virginia Business //March 1, 2026//
Virginia’s Democratic senior senator and the state’s 69th governor, Warner has been best known for his efforts to reach across the aisle in the U.S. Senate and his work as chair (now vice chair) of the Senate Intelligence Committee. However, after President Donald Trump took office in 2025 for a second term, Warner has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump’s economic agenda and his massive cuts to the federal workforce. He also called for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to resign over classified information mishandling.
Warner is running for his fourth Senate term and as of mid-February had one Democratic primary opponent and one declared GOP general election challenger.
The co-founder of Nextel and Capital Cellular, with an estimated net worth of $215 million, Warner got involved in politics in the 1990s, when he managed former Gov. Doug Wilder’s gubernatorial campaign. In 2001, he was elected Virginia’s governor.
