With John Warner's retirement plans sending Virginia Republicans into a scramble to replace him, the Democratic Party of Virginia is launching a new series today which examines whether or not some of the leading Republican candidates are worthy of filling the shoes of a Senator who was known to put Virginia families and progress for America ahead of extreme partisanship.

Today we look at Tom Davis' record on the minimum wage.

While John Warner worked across party lines this year on behalf of working families, Tom Davis chose to tow the party line and vote in lock-step with Washington Republicans. 

When it comes to helping working families, Tom Davis is no John Warner.

The Facts:

Senator Warner Supports Raising the Minimum Wage. Sen. John Warner voted for the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, which will give Virginia workers a $2.10 pay raise over the next two years. (Vote 42, H.R.2, 2/1/07; Vote 181, H.R. 2206, 5/24/07)

Representative Davis Rejects a Raise for Hardworking Virginians. Tom Davis voted against raising the minimum wage. (Vote 18, H.R. 2, 1/10/07; Vote 424, H.R. 2206, 5/24/07)
