In the final stretch of Election 2024, the Tim Kaine Senate campaign launched “7 Days, 7 Ways Tim Kaine Stands Up For Virginia” to highlight seven ways Sen. Tim Kaine puts Virginia first in the U.S. Senate.

Kaine celebrates 30 years in 2024 serving in public office and is running for election to his third term representing Virginia in the U.S. Senate.

The first way Kaine stands up for Virginia is by turning the ideas he gets from listening to the concerns of Virginians into meaningful legislation that improves the lives of Virginia families.

Kaine has passed meaningful legislation into law named after Virginians, including Brandon Caserta, Dr. Lorna Breen and Gabriella Miller. The laws tackle serious issues facing Virginians, from addressing veterans’ suicide to tackling the burnout facing health care professionals and funding pediatric cancer research.

None of the legislation would have come to pass without Kaine listening to Virginians. While Hung Cao puts down Virginians, Kaine listens to Virginians in every region of the Commonwealth and is proud to stand up for them.

“Everyday Sen. Kaine wakes up, rolls up his sleeves, shows up and stands up for Virginians,” said Michael Beyer, Communications Director for Kaine for Virginia. “The best ideas Sen. Kaine gets are from listening to Virginians and turning their concerns into legislation that tackles serious issues, from tackling the burnout facing health care professionals to funding pediatric cancer research.”
