THE STEADY STATE ENDORSES MARK WARNER FOR SENATE

WASHINGTON — The Steady State, an organization of more than 420 former national security, intelligence, diplomatic, military, law enforcement, and homeland security officials, today endorsed Sen. Mark Warner for Senate.

Mark Warner represents Virginia in the United States Senate and has built one of the strongest intelligence-oversight profiles in Congress. Before entering the Senate, Warner worked as a technology and business leader and served as Governor of Virginia. In the Senate, he serves as Vice Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, where his work has focused on intelligence oversight, cybersecurity, counterintelligence, artificial intelligence, and the relationship between national security and democratic accountability. His profile is especially relevant given Virginia’s central role in the intelligence community, defense leadership, and federal national-security workforce.

Mark Warner demonstrates a consistent commitment to the rule of law, supports nonpartisan oversight and accountability of the Executive Branch, and upholds the democratic norms that the organization’s criteria require.

“The Steady State endorses candidates who understand that national security depends on constitutional government. Mark Warner has shown both the professional experience and the constitutional judgment necessary to defend the rule of law while ensuring that Congress fulfills its responsibilities as a coequal branch of government,“ said Steven Cash, Executive Director of The Steady State.
