Tim Kaine has served people throughout his adult life as a missionary, fair housing attorney, teacher and elected official.
As Virginia's 70th Governor, and in the midst of America's deepest recession in 70 years, Tim led the state to national recognition. Virginia was honored as the Best Managed State in America (Governing Magazine), the Best State for Business (Forbes.com -- four years in a row) and the Best State to Raise a Child (Education Week). Virginia maintained its Triple A bond rating for fiscal management -- an honor shared by only 7 states -- and had one of the nation's lowest unemployment rates and highest median incomes.
Now Tim has answered the call again, this time to run for the United States Senate. He's running because America needs optimistic doers who know how to find common ground.
