WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Timothy Kaine made a campaign stop in Woodbridge on Friday to tell voters he’ll fund more educational opportunities.
Over coffee at Osprey’s Landing restaurant at Belmont Bay, Kaine told resident’s he’s the right choice for U.S. Senate because he’s had experience in an economy in recession during the time he was governor of Virginia between 2005 and 2009.
“On the economy, Virginia has some lessons for the nation,” said Kaine. “When I was governor we were in the worst recession in 70 years, but we were still among the lowest 10 unemployment rates and top 10 median incomes,” stated Kaine in a press release following the event.
Instead of across-the-board budget cuts, Kaine favors more financial support for schools and students with math, technology, and other career, technical, or workforce training.
Kaine faces former U.S. Senator and Virginia Governor George Allen during this fall’s General Election.
Since last year, Kaine has hosted 55 roundtable discussions similar to the one held in Woodbridge on Friday.
