National Security

Senator Warner is committed to strengthening our national security at home and abroad. As Vice Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Warner is responsible for providing oversight of all U.S. intelligence agencies, and he greatly values the dedication and service of the intelligence professionals who work every day to keep our country safe.

Virginia plays a critical role in America’s national security. Beyond its central place in the Intelligence Community, Virginia is home to the seat of defense leadership—the Pentagon—to the largest naval station in the world—Naval Station Norfolk—and to our nation’s only aircraft carrier builder. Sen. Warner believes the armed forces of the United States are the strongest and most capable in the history of the world, and he knows that Virginia’s contributions to America’s defense are unmatched.

Sen. Warner also works to ensure that the United States is prepared for the evolving threats of the 21st century, tackling novel challenges around artificial intelligence, technology competition, access to rare earth minerals, and more.
