In August 2016, Wagner announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor in 2017.[5] He ran on the slogan "One veteran, one businessman, one Virginian, one choice."[6]

He lost the primary election on June 13, 2017, placing in third behind Corey Stewart and Ed Gillespie, the latter of whom became the Republican nominee.

In March 2019, Wagner announced he would not seek re-election in the 2019 Virginia Senate election.[7] Two months after announcing his retirement, Wagner resigned his Senate seat to accept Governor Ralph Northam's appointment to become Deputy Director of the Virginia Lottery.[8] He was succeeded in the Senate by Republican Jen Kiggans.
