Richmond, VA – In the final stretch of this election, the Kaine for Virginia campaign is launching “7 Days, 7 Ways Tim Kaine Stands Up For Virginia” to highlight seven ways Senator Kaine puts Virginia first in the U.S. Senate.
The third way Senator Kaine stands up for Virginia is by lowering costs – including capping prescription drug costs and cutting taxes for Virginia families. He is also fighting to reduce the cost of child care and slash taxes further for working families.
Senator Kaine was a deciding vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 and gave Medicare the power to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, which has already lowered costs for every American. He was also a deciding vote for the American Rescue Plan, which included the expanded Child Tax Credit, the largest tax cut for working families ever so Virginians could have more room in their family budget for food, child care, and everyday expenses.
But he knows there’s more to be done. That’s why Senator Kaine is fighting so that insulin is $35 for every Virginian and working across the aisle to tackle the cost of child care. He also introduced tax relief for working families so that Virginia families have more money in their pockets.
“Senator Kaine has lowered everyday costs for Virginians, from slashing the price of insulin to $35 for seniors to providing tax relief for working families,” said Michael Beyer, Communications Director for Kaine for Virginia. “He knows there’s work ahead, which is why he’s fighting to make child care more affordable, cap insulin to $35 for everyone, and reinstate the Child Tax Credit so Virginia families can keep more of their hard-earned money.”
