Richmond, VA —Today, the Kaine for Virginia campaign submitted over 26,000 signatures – more than double the amount required to get on the ballot – highlighting the grassroots enthusiasm for his record of standing up for Virginia.
“I’m grateful to every single Virginian who volunteered their time to sign, distribute, and recruit their friends and neighbors to show support for our campaign,” said Tim Kaine. “This campaign is about standing up for Virginia and my record of creating good-paying jobs, lowering prescription costs for working families, supporting our troops and their families, safeguarding our democracy, and protecting reproductive freedom. With this grassroots support from every region in the Commonwealth, from Southwest to Shenandoah Valley, the Eastern Shore to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Southside to Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads to Central Virginia, and Northern Neck to Middle Peninsula, our campaign is going to keep building the momentum we need to win this race so together we can keep standing up for Virginia.”
The campaign is submitting over 26,000 signatures and has the grassroots momentum to win this race and our approach to go everywhere and meet Virginians where they are. Volunteers attended hundreds of community events across every single congressional district to gather signatures to get to over 26,000 signatures.
