Overview
On April 20, Sen. Mark Warner announced that his daughter Madison Warner, 36, died after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues.
Warner has been an advocate for insulin affordability, expanded diabetes care access and diabetes research in the Senate, where he has represented Virginia since 2009.
Leaders across parties offered condolences, including Vice President JD Vance and Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, according to public statements.
Roughly 2.0 to 2.1 million Americans live with Type 1 diabetes, including about 314,000 children and adolescents, according to a 2026 CDC report and the American Diabetes Association.
Warner and his wife said they are grateful for support and asked for privacy as they navigate this loss, and the couple have two surviving daughters, Gillian and Eliza.
