STAFFORD, Va. — Tim Kaine and Anne Holton kicked off a volunteer neighborhood canvass in Stafford on Saturday, Sept. 15 at a campaign field office near the Stafford Hospital. Kaine is a former Virginia governor who is running for senate against George Allen, another former governor. Allen also used to be a Virginia senator and is looking to reclaim that title.
At the canvass, Kaine and Holton emphasized how important one-on-one contact is in the community.
“You are the ones who will prove in November that a small group of donors with unlimited resources can’t make the volunteer hours and the phone calls and the door knocks irrelevant,” said Kaine. “No amount of secret money or negative ads can replace the work you do in your communities to talk to voters about what’s at stake in this election. I’m confident that with your help, we’ll be able to win in November and bring proven Virginia-based strategies to Washington to grow the economy, balance the budget and find common ground.”
Afterwards, Kaine and Holton attended an annual pig roast hosted by U.S. Senator Mark Warner and his wife Lisa Collis in King George County.
