Republican Senator John Warner won’t seek sixth term

Virginia Republican Senator John Warner says he won’t be seeking a sixth term. Warner, who has held the seat since 1978, is a strong voice in the issues over the war in Iraq and is known for being an expert on national security issues.

Warner announced Friday he won’t seek another term in 2008 saying “I want to be fair to this wonderful state, which has been eminently fair to me all these years. You’ve given me my best shot, and I’m quietly going to step aside and make way for others.”

 

“Public service is a privilege and I urge all to try and find some time in their lifetime to serve the needs of others. I have tried to not only be true to myself, but true to the people of this great commonwealth I’ve served for 29 years now,” Warner said on Friday.
