July 25, 201 6 Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick, has legislative and executive experience representing an important swing state with a large population of federal employees, service members, and veterans.
Since Kaine was elected to the Senate in 2012, he has supported proposals to protect the compensation and benefits of federal workers and military families, as well as to increase veterans’ access to health care and job training. Most recently, he sponsored efforts to prevent the Defense Department from privatizing military commissaries until further study, and signed onto the Veterans First Act, a major reform bill that would change how the Veterans Affairs Department hires and fires its workforce.
The former Virginia governor and lieutenant governor also worked last year to obtain more credit monitoring and identity theft protection for federal workers and others affected by the massive Office of Personnel Management security breaches. During the 2013 government shutdown, Kaine – along with the other lawmakers from Virginia and Maryland – shepherded legislation that would ensure furloughed workers would be paid when the government reopened.

It is great when anyone stands up for their fellow citizen . Like the mail man in
Farmington that helped the guy with ms with water. The black customer who gave
everyone a pat on the back back, wished them a great day in Lowell, Michigan. The
Postmaster who is old school, who took water to his city carriers, and let them know how much he respected their hard work also in Lowell, Michigan. The little
black girl who made the jewelry, and gave it away asking the person to do
something kind. This stuff all matters because who’s got time not to care. All of
these people chose to be leaders in their own way. Thank you, I hope the people
can remember the public if given a chance in public office.
