Sen. Warner outlines priorities for next six years, calls for end to Iran war
HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - Senator Mark Warner discussed his priorities for the next six years during a call Tuesday, highlighting affordability, health care, and his opposition to the war in Iran.
The Virginia Democrat thanked voters for re-electing him and discussed the results of last week’s election. He said he wants to end President Donald Trump’s tariffs and the war in Iran, expand access to housing, and make health care more affordable.
“My view about health care is not only that it needs to be for fairness, but if we don’t find a way to contain our costs in health care, everything else will be pushed aside,” Warner said.
Warner also said the war in Iran has contributed to higher costs for families and farmers. He called on Republicans to support ending the conflict.
“It costs too much. It cost us too many service members. It has directly driven to higher gas prices, diesel prices, higher fertilizer prices for our farmers,” he said. “It needs to end.”
Warner said he is also committed to protecting workers, the environment, and national security. He called on Democrats and Republicans to work together on solutions that benefit Americans.
