Mizusawa Wins Virginia Republican Primary, to Face Warner
AP projects Bert Mizusawa and former Rep. Elaine Luria as winners in Virginia primaries that will set November matchups.
- On Tuesday, Bert Mizusawa won Virginia's Republican primary for U.S. Senate with 66,117 votes, securing the nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Warner in November.
- Mizusawa, a former deputy under secretary of the Army, outpaced challengers David Williams and Kim Farington; this year's primary shifted two months later due to an April redistricting referendum.
- In the 2nd Congressional District, former Rep. Elaine Luria secured the Democratic nomination and advances to a general election rematch against incumbent Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans.
- Following the results, the National Republican Congressional Committee criticized Luria as a "corrupt, soulless hypocrite," while touting Kiggans as a lawmaker who "delivered historic tax relief."
- Virginia has not elected a Republican to the Senate since 2002, presenting a historical challenge as early voting for the November 3 general election begins September 18.
