Virginians say they want their leaders to know what life is like for ordinary people. Both of you have achieved extraordinary success and standing. How do you prevent this from being a barrier to understanding Virginia as most Virginians do?
FOR U.S. SENATE
Mark Warner (D)
``Very simply - I have the same friends now that I've had all my life. I've been fortunate to succeed in business beyond my wildest dreams, but I haven't forgotten where I came from. Fifteen years ago, everything I owned fit in the trunk of a 1965 Buick. Now, I have it better than most, but I don't think I have changed, and neither do my friends.''
John Warner (R)
``I never forget where I came from, and the most important lesson my parents taught me - concern and compassion for my fellow man. It is this understanding of the challenges facing working Virginians, and my strong desire to help those most disadvantaged in our society that give me the drive and rewards of service.''
