From EMILY’s List:
“The strongest candidacy for women and families just got even stronger,” said Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List. “Hillary Clinton has championed the most progressive, inclusive agenda in history, and Tim Kaine is an excellent choice to amplify this platform. Senator Kaine has been a strong supporter of economic opportunity for women – he has stood alongside our women in the Senate and fought for equal pay for women, raising incomes of American workers, and protecting access to health care through the Women’s Health Protection Act. Senator Kaine is an excellent choice to help move forward an agenda that benefits all Americans.
League of Conservation Voters:
“Awesome choice, Hillary! We’re thrilled that Hillary has picked Senator Tim Kaine to be her running mate. As mayor, governor, and senator, he has a proven track record as an environmental leader who has worked to combat climate change, grow our clean energy economy and protect special places in Virginia and across the country. An environmental champion with an impressive 91% score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard, Senator Kaine is a fantastic addition to the presidential ticket. LCV Action Fund could not be more excited to help elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine the next president and vice president of the United States. Onward!”
End Citizens United:
“Tim Kaine is a true public servant, serving as a missionary, civil rights lawyer, teacher and elected official. He has sided with Virginians against the special interests and understands that the only way we’ll truly restore the voice of everyday Americans in our democracy is to reverse Citizens United. That’s why he has stood on the side of reform for over a decade - pushing for more transparency and disclosure, voting to advance a constitutional amendment, and calling for an end to Republican obstruction of President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court. From day one, the Clinton-Kaine team will fight to end the corrosive influence that billionaires’ and corporate special interests’ unlimited, secret money has on our elections and our government.”
Progressive Change Campaign Committee:
"As we saw in Donald Trump’s speech last night, Republicans will run hard against Democrats on trade this year. Unfortunately, since Tim Kaine voted to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Republicans now have a new opening to attack Democrats on this economic populist issue.
"The mood of the country is a populist one. The center of gravity in the Democratic Party has shifted in a bold, populist, progressive direction -- regardless of who is selected by Hillary Clinton as Vice President.
"It’s now more important than ever that Hillary Clinton run an aggressive campaign on core economic ideas like expanding Social Security, debt-free college, Wall Street reform, and yes, stopping the TPP. It’s the best way to unite the Democratic Party, and stop Republicans from winning over swing voters on bread-and-butter issues.
