Sen. Mark R. Warner (D) is hitting the road.
The popular former governor is using Congress’s August recess to tour Virginia in typical Warner-esque, breakneck fashion.
He’s attending 39 events over eight days in all regions of the state. And he’s not even on the ballot — not yet anyway.

He started last week with events in Hampton Roads, the Eastern Shore and Peninsula, and continues this week with Northern Virginia, central Virginia, Southside and Southwest.
He will hold town halls in Manassas, Culpeper and Richmond, tour aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce’s manufacturing and research facility in Prince George County, attend a naturalization event in Roanoke and visit a call center in Martinsville. He’ll end the week in Bristol at a NASCAR race, where during his gubernatorial run he famously sponsored a NASCAR vehicle as part of his attempt to cast himself as a Democrat who showed he could embrace rural Virginia.
