The Kaine for Virginia campaign launched its first TV ad, “Dignity,” which highlights Sen. Tim Kaine’s life-long work to create good-paying jobs in Virginia and support job training efforts to improve Virginia’s workforce.

Kaine, who is running for re-election to the U.S. Senate in Virginia after 30 years of public service, spent the first weekend of early voting campaigning in Arlington, Manassas, Stanardsville, Woodbridge, Leesburg, Accomack and Chincoteague. This morning, Kaine cast his vote early in Richmond with great public servants, his wife, Anne Holton, and Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, who represents Virignia’s District 4.

Kaine for Virginia’s “Dignity” ad highlights how Kaine is bringing manufacturing and infrastructure jobs to Virginia.

The ad begins with detailing how he started working in his dad’s ironworking shop and then taught carpentry and welding to students in Honduras. The ad spotlights his work in the U.S. Senate to bring high-tech manufacturing and infrastructure jobs to Virginia.

“From growing up working in his dad’s ironworking shop to teaching kids carpentry and welding, Sen. Kaine has always understood how having a skill can change a person’s life. That’s why in the U.S. Senate, Tim Kaine passed laws so that America is building and manufacturing again,” Michael Beyer, Communications Director for Kaine for Virginia, said. “Tim Kaine has always had the backs of Virginia workers, who are making it in America, building it in America, and growing it in America.”
