Mark Warner's Campaign Launch

Not that it's a surprise to anyone, anywhere, but Mark Warner is going to launch his campaign for the U.S. Senate in Alexandria on May 5th. The party will be at The Carlyle Club at 7pm. The Governor is inviting anyone and everyone who might be curious to come by and hear what he has to say.

Gov. Warner is truly interested in talking to and hearing from his neighbors, the citizens of Virginia. There's a great example of this up on his campaign blog, from his visit to Loudoun and Leesburg last week.

Our friend, Sen. Mark Herring, assembled another 50 local business owners and community leaders for an informative question-and-answer session during lunch at Lightfoot Restaurant in downtown Leesburg.

Governor Warner asked the crowd for their support to go to the U.S. Senate to form a bipartisan coalition to produce real results on healthcare, energy policy, and economic competitiveness.

Afterwards, Governor Warner visited with merchants and customers along Leesburg’s quaint King and Market Streets. He greeted diners at the Leesburg Restaurant, and spoke about current economic conditions with the owners of Caulkins Jewelers and the Georgetown Cafe & Bakery.

We briefly stopped by the offices of the Loudoun Times-Mirror for a spontaneous interview, and then toured and spoke to residents at Falcon’s Landing, an upscale independent living facility in Sterling. - MarkWarner2008.com
It's a great thing to be able to support and vote for Gov. Warner in 2008.
