Richmond, VA – Today, the Kaine campaign is announcing the endorsement of former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman, who is endorsing Senator Kaine because of his character and his record of standing up for Virginia.
“Senator Tim Kaine is a good man who has always looked out for Virginians. Tim is thoughtful on policy and is willing to work across the aisle to deliver for Virginians across the Commonwealth,” said former Representative Denver Riggleman. “While Hung Cao has shown his disrespect for law enforcement by pledging to compensate January 6th insurrectionists, Tim Kaine will protect democracy and the rights of all Virginians, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse him.”
“I’m honored to have earned Congressman Riggleman’s endorsement. He knows how important it is to put party aside to deliver for Virginians,” said Senator Tim Kaine. “I have continuously worked across the aisle, from my bill with Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio to protect NATO to Alabama Republican Senator Katie Britt to lower the cost of childcare to working with Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst to devote more resources to fentanyl interdiction. I will always do what it takes to stand up for Virginians, no matter what their political party is.”
Senator Kaine has worked across the aisle to lower costs, protect reproductive freedom, defend our allies, limit presidential war powers, and combat the flow of fentanyl. Meanwhile, his opponent decries bipartisanship and says he’s “not interested” in it.
Representative Riggleman’s endorsement proves Senator Kaine’s bipartisan track record is resonating with Virginians in every corner of the Commonwealth.
