The ad features Virginia voters speaking about how Senator Kaine has led a life committed to hard work and helping others, beginning with his time in Honduras as a missionary to running for office and instilling those same values in his children with his wife, Anne Holton. The ad ends with Senator Kaine speaking directly to voters about how he recognizes their efforts to better the lives of their families and how he is committed to helping those efforts, stating that “your fight is his fight.”
Throughout his career, Senator Kaine has worked to help Virginia’s families by lowering healthcare costs, creating safer communities, and lowering the costs of receiving an education. He is committed to continuing this work if elected to the US Senate for another term.
“Valores” will air on broadcast television and cable and on digital streaming platforms. The ad is part of a multicultural, multilingual ad campaign launched in August that includes advertising reaching the African American, Latino, Korean, and Vietnamese communities on radio, print, broadcast, and digital. The campaign’s radio ads reaching African American and Latino voters started at the beginning of Early Vote in September.
“Virginians know Senator Kaine is committed to doing whatever it takes to make their lives easier,” said Michael Beyer, Communications Director for Kaine for Virginia. “This new ad will highlight how this commitment comes from the values he has held throughout his life.”
