The Virginia Senate race is now set, with Republican contender Bert Mizusawa emerging to challenge longtime Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. Mizusawa, a former major general in the military, has previously run for office, including unsuccessful bids for the House and Senate.

Background

Mizusawa was tapped by President Donald Trump to serve as his foreign policy advisor and later acted as director of national security policy for his transition team in 2016. His primary focuses, if elected, are tackling the nation’s debt, affordability, and being a ‘pro-military Senator,’ according to his campaign website.

Investment banker and former reality TV contestant Mark Moran is running a third-party independent campaign after opting to dump his initial push against Warner as a Democrat. Moran made headlines earlier this year when he revealed he wanted to get caught by the prediction market platform Kalshi for betting on himself in his campaign.
