See below for some photos and video from Tim Kaine’s 2018 kickoff tour this week (this morning in Alexandria). Note the positive, forward-thinking, inclusive energy that Sen. Kaine brings with him everywhere he goes? Now contrast that with the “vicious,” “brutal” campaign of 2018 Virginia GOP frontrunner Corey Stewart, which involves (among other things) demonizing immigrants, attacking Tim Kaine’s family, playing to the most extreme elements of his party’s “base” (e.g., white nationalists), etc. It’s truly a striking difference between where the Virginia GOP’s at these days vs. where Tim Kaine’s Virginia Democratic Party is at. Which is why we need Tim Kaine to not just win this November, but win YUGE. Let’s do it!
I think people really like this @timkaine guy. pic.twitter.com/r8toE8kGoh

Day 5 of my campaign kickoff in the books – from Loudoun to Fairfax, Prince William, and the Northern Neck. Virginia has grown because we’ve embraced the future: education, infrastructure, immigration, inclusion, innovation. We could use more of all that these days. pic.twitter.com/BqcQQi0nko

Just toured IKEA’s Danville manufacturing plant. Asked if the tariffs worry them. They’re ok for now, but because they import a lot of raw materials, they’re concerned about what’s to come. We have to stop this rash policy before it hurts even more U.S. businesses and workers. pic.twitter.com/f5fNO67ky1

Glad to join so many in Burke this afternoon for Senator @TimKaine's office opening off of Ox Rd.
We can't take this race for granted, folks. Let's all do what we can to send Senator Kaine back to Congress to work on our behalf! pic.twitter.com/fFyuC9HD39

Back home in Richmond to hit the hay but we closed out our 16-hour day really strong: with a rally in my wife Anne’s native Roanoke. I laid out my vision for a Virginia that works for all, with no region left out or behind.
Next up: Southside & Lynchburg! https://t.co/sZuqLsHBQ0 pic.twitter.com/uafFpjFtZF

When @timkaine comes to town, don’t expect some politician to just talk AT you.
Expect him to listen. pic.twitter.com/SyIqA8IAfX

Packed house of 400 in Blacksburg for @timkaine event on gun violence, just steps away from Virginia Tech’s campus, where 11 yrs ago April 16 we saw what was then the worst mass shooting in US history. “We need universal background checks and to ban assault weapons,” Kaine says. pic.twitter.com/Z8xjd3ldrD
