Tim Kaine stands for an America whose economy and education system works for everyone and his leadership on the fierce and urgent issue of taking care of our Veteran heroes has been second to none.  Senator Kaine has led on numerous critical issues facing our nation:  From tackling climate change to championing clean energy to fighting for comprehensive immigration reform. Tim Kaine will be the next Vice President of the United States and he will be a great one."
