Virginia's 75-year-old four-term Republican Senator is seeking another term this year that many campaign-watchers say is in the bag since he faces no Democratic opposition.
The war veteran and ex-husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor is listing national security as his chief concern for the campaign. Warner, the former two-and-a-half term chairman of the Senate's Armed Services Committee, is a proponent of war against Iraq and worked closely with President Bush as the senior Republican on the Armed Services Committee in responding to the Sept. 11 attacks.
Like anybody seeking election in Virginia, Warner has emphasized plans to boost the state's economy. By bringing more federal dollars to the state -- particularly in the areas of national defense and transportation --Warner says he intends to create jobs and expand the technological infrastructure in Northern Virginia.
In education, Warner said he supports Bush's "No Child Left Behind Act," which, Warner said, would provide flexibility in spending federal dollars. For teachers, Warner supports tax relief in the form of the Teacher Tax Relief Act, legislation he introduced that would provide tax relief on teachers' voluntary, out-of-pocket expenses.
