Richmond, VA — Tomorrow, the Kaine for Virginia campaign will launch the “Standing Up For Virginia” Tour to highlight the work Sen. Kaine has done to help Virginians in every corner of the Commonwealth.
From delivering on key projects like the Silver Line, the Coalfields Expressway, the spaceport on Wallops Island, the Port of Virginia, the Virginia Tech/Carillion Medical Research Campus, and the Richmond/Petersburg Tech Hub to lowering costs for prescription drugs, Senator Kaine stands up for Virginia. In the Senate, he has been a deciding vote to save the Affordable Care Act, reduce the cost of insulin to $35 per month, save the pensions of millions of workers, pass a child tax credit that dramatically reduced child poverty, and accelerate American leadership in clean energy. He fights for our troops and their families and works to push back against Republican efforts to deprive Americans of reproductive freedom and voting rights.
“I’m proud of my record of standing up for good jobs, fair treatment of all, lower health and education costs, and reproductive freedom,” said Tim Kaine. “I’ve been proud to work together representing everyday Virginians for nearly 30 years and excited to seek your vote to continue serving my Commonwealth and country. The ‘Standing up for Virginia Tour’ is about standing up and standing together to continue our progress against those who would tear us down or tear us apart.”
The tour will start in Richmond and make stops in Staunton, Roanoke, Wytheville, Blacksburg, Charlottesville, Leesburg, Alexandria, Woodbridge, Dumfries, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Newport News.
