Senator Mark Warner and Tom Perriello hit the ground running in Charlottesville, rallying voters ahead of November’s pivotal election. Both former colleagues from Congress—Warner seeking his fourth Senate term, Perriello returning to challenge GOP incumbent John McGuire—hammered home a unified message: vote early, fight back against Trump-era policies, and demand practical solutions for rising costs like gas prices and tariffs. Warner praised Perriello’s rare bipartisan instincts and deep roots in Virginia’s conservative south, while Perriello emphasized common-sense leadership and a growing Democratic coalition ready to restore accountability in Washington. Meanwhile, Warner’s own campaign faces an unusual twist: two scheduled debates with opponent Bert Mizusawa have been canceled, marking a departure from Warner’s usual openness to public forums. The stakes are high—and voters are watching closely.

An 18-year-old, Kejuan Augustus Anthony, has been arrested in connection with a deadly shooting on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall on September 12th.
