He was born into a family of modest means.

After not doing so well in his first startup businesses, he went on to make a fortune estimated at up to $180 Million in the cell phone business.

Turned that $6 billion deficit into a $1.2 billion surplus.

Was a Governing Magazine "Public Official of the Year" in 2004.

Was elected Chairman of the National Governors Association in 2004 by his peers with the support of many Republicans.

Under his leadership, Virginia has been recognized as the "Best Managed State in the Nation."

One article says "there is hardly anything in Virginia that is not done right and done well."

Mark Warner will leave office in 2005 as one of the most popular governor's in Virginia history.

Mark Warner is an able campaigner who ran strong in rural areas as well as larger cities.

His record is superb and his image and personal life are squeaky clean.
