Newser • • nation
Key Points:
- Retired Army Major General Bert Mizusawa won the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in Virginia and will challenge incumbent Senator Mark Warner in the November election.
- Mizusawa secured over 53,000 votes, defeating Marine Reserve Lt. Colonel David Williams and financial consultant Carrie Farington.
- Mizusawa, a former deputy under secretary of the Army and business owner, will face Warner, who is seeking a fourth and reportedly final term.
- The primary was delayed by nearly two months due to an April referendum on redistricting.
- Virginia has not elected a Republican senator since 2002, and Mizusawa faces an uphill battle against Warner, who succeeded longtime Republican Senator John Warner.
