Bert Kameaaloha Mizusawa was born in January 1957 in Honolulu, Hawaii, the second of six sons of George T. and Theodora Mizusawa.
His father enlisted in the Air Force, and Mizusawa grew up in the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Oklahoma, Ohio and Virginia before the family settled in Hampton, Virginia, where he finished Kecoughtan High School in 1975.
He entered the United States Military Academy that year and graduated first in his class on June 6, 1979. He later earned a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1989 and completed a Master of Public Policy at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Commissioned in the infantry, Mizusawa served as an Airborne Ranger with a paratrooper battalion in Italy and commanded the Joint Security Force company at Panmunjom in the Korean Demilitarized Zone, receiving the Silver Star for leading it in a firefight with North Korean soldiers pursuing a Soviet defector.
He practiced at Sullivan & Cromwell, a Wall Street firm, between 1990 and 1994, then served on the staff of the Senate Armed Services Committee from 1995 to 1998 before joining the Pentagon as a Senior Executive in 1998.
In the Army Reserve he led the new Army Reserve Information Operations Command from 2001 to 2004, and in 2004 he founded the consulting firm Paxcentric.
Promoted on August 2, 2011, to major general, he held Joint Chiefs of Staff posts and commanded the Combined Joint Interagency Task Force in Afghanistan, retiring in 2015.
He ran unsuccessfully for Congress in Virginia in 2010, advised Donald Trump's 2016 campaign on foreign policy, and in 2020 became a senior adviser at the Central Intelligence Agency.
Mizusawa is challenging Mark Warner, the Democratic incumbent seeking a fourth term, in the November 3, 2026, election. In the August 4 Republican primary he won the nomination with 51.5%, defeating David Williams and Kim Farington, while Warner was unopposed on the Democratic side.
