The Democratic Party of Virginia (DPVA) Chairwoman Susan Swecker released the following statement after former Republican Virginia Senator John Warner endorsed Hillary Clinton for president:

“Former Republican Senator John Warner's endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president is a truly momentous occasion and it speaks volumes about her qualifications. Senator Warner is a true Virginian in every sense of the definition: he’s a statesman, World War II Veteran, and believes in putting his country and Commonwealth first.  Commonsense Republicans support Hillary Clinton because she brings the experience, judgement, and leadership skills to serve as president.”
