Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) has raised approximately $27.2 million for his 2026 reelection campaign, compared with $1.03 million raised by Republican challenger Bert Mizusawa. That gives Warner a fundraising advantage of approximately 26-to-1 in a race rated Solid Democratic by the Cook Political Report. ​

Warner also holds a substantial cash advantage. As of Sept. 30, his campaign reported $7.53 million on hand with no outstanding debt, compared with Mizusawa's $229,502 in cash and $50,783 in debt. Mizusawa had approximately 3% as much cash available as Warner.

The candidates' reported donor occupations reflect different fundraising patterns. Lawyers contributed approximately $682,000 to Warner, followed by CEOs at $538,000, executives at $295,000, and company presidents at $258,000. Mizusawa's largest reported occupational groups were homemakers at $8,000, followed by administrative assistants, executives, and managing members at approximately $7,000 each.

Retired and not-employed contributors accounted for approximately $3.4 million, or 34%, of Warner's reported itemized individual donations, compared with $35,000, or 36%, of Mizusawa's.

Warner also receives a larger share of his campaign funding from political committees and transfers. According to the supplied figures, those sources accounted for approximately 29% of his receipts, compared with a negligible share for Mizusawa. According to FEC-derived September figures, Mizusawa also contributed about $155,000 directly to his campaign.

Warner's fundraising and cash advantages provide substantially more resources for advertising and voter outreach ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Outside organizations have also reported independent expenditures in the race, including spending supporting Warner.

Mizusawa enters the final weeks with significantly fewer financial resources, while Warner holds a commanding advantage in both fundraising and available cash.
