IDP Statement on Hillary Clinton’s Pick of Gov. Tim Kaine as Vice President

DES MOINES –  Iowa Democratic Party Chair, Dr. Andy McGuire, issued the following statement on Senator Tim Kaine as Hillary Clinton’s Vice Presidential nominee:

"Hillary Clinton has chosen a strong, proven leader with impeccable governing skills by tapping Sen. Tim Kaine as Vice President. Born in Kansas City, Kaine grew up in a working family household that valued hard work and equality for all. As an attorney, Kaine fought for minorities and those with disabilities to ensure that every voice was represented and heard.

Hillary Clinton is one of the most qualified people to ever run for President, and Kaine complements her with a solid resume of his own. Kaine is a proven leader at the local, state and national level. He brings a wealth of knowledge and governing experience that strengthens our Presidential ticket. We’re excited to see him on the ballot in November. And we’re proud to be a part of the Democratic Party that champions fairness, inclusion and an economy that works for everyone. ”
