When he left the Governor's Office in 2006, Virginia was ranked as the best state for business, the best managed state, and the best state in which to receive a public education. 

       Governor Warner was elected to the United States Senate in 2008, where he              serves on the Banking, Budget, Finance and Intelligence committees.   Senator Warner has been recognized as a national leader in fighting for our military men and women and veterans, and working to design a bipartisan, comprehensive plan to address our country's debt and deficit.
