Richmond, VA – Tim Kaine earned the endorsement of Foreign Policy for America, a nonpartisan advocacy organization, because he is a champion for freedom and democracy at home and abroad.
“Tim Kaine is an indispensable leader in the U.S. Senate. No one works harder to keep Americans safe and make sure our foreign policy stays true to our values and who we are. For over two decades, Senator Kaine has focused intently on strengthening our ties with our closest allies, supporting democracy in the face of threats, and ensuring that this country always leads with diplomacy,” said Andrew Albertson, Executive Director of Foreign Policy for America. “We’re grateful for his leadership on AUMF reform and his consistent support for diplomacy and the professional civil servants working every day to protect Americans’ interests. We’re proud to once again endorse Senator Kaine for re-election and we look forward to his continued leadership in the years to come.”
“I’m honored to have earned the support of Foreign Policy for America in this campaign. In times like today, we have seen how important protecting democracy and freedom is,” said Senator Tim Kaine. “As one of the few Senators serving on both the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, I will continue promoting democracy and human rights, combatting climate change, and advocating for a safer, more secure America. I thank Foreign Policy for America for the work they do to keep the country safe and for their endorsement of this race.”
Senator Kaine has consistently supported efforts to protect the United States at home and abroad. Working across party lines, Senator Kaine led the fight to protect our alliance with NATO, sending a strong message to authoritarians that the free world remains united. He voted in favor of the CHIPS and Science Act, which supports critical supply chains in the U.S. and to curb China’s dominance over the semiconductor and chips markets. He also was a deciding vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which is the largest investment in tackling climate change in history and will create millions of good-paying jobs. Senator Kaine led the successful effort to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) and formally end the Gulf and Iraq wars. He has long fought to protect the merit-based federal workforce system, including through his Saving the Civil Service Act, which would protect civil servants from interference from self-serving politicians who want to put partisan loyalty ahead of merit. Throughout his career, Senator Kaine has shown his unwavering dedication to securing a safe and prosperous America for all.
Foreign Policy for America is a nonpartisan advocacy organization working to strengthen support for principled American engagement in the world. They support policies that keep Americans safe and out of conflicts, advance prosperity for all, and are true to our country’s highest values.
