Mark Warner to Deliver Keynote Address at Convention

Mark Warner, the popular former governor of Virginia and Democratic candidate for Senate, will be the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, August 26, in Denver.

Across the board, people are impressed with Mark Warner's ability to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Known for bringing people together, the former Virginia Governor’s career encompasses the Convention’s theme of Americans coming together for change.

One of Warner’s hometown papers, the Roanoke Times, explains his ability to broaden the Democratic base. Warner “was elected governor in 2001 partly by reaching beyond traditional Democratic constituencies and making inroads in rural areas. He forged working coalitions with Republicans who controlled the General Assembly and won support for a 2004 tax increase that he deemed essential to shoring up the state's finances.”
