AFT President Randi Weingarten on Tim Kaine’s Re-election to the US Senate

WASHINGTON—AFT President Randi Weingarten on the re-election of Tim Kaine to represent Virginia in the U.S. Senate:

“Sen. Tim Kaine is a fighter—a fighter for our public schools, a fighter for people with pre-existing conditions, a fighter for affordable college and a fighter for working people. Virginians understood this was a ‘which side are you on?’ election and overwhelmingly chose decency over cruelty, fairness over prejudice, and democracy over demagoguery. Voters in Virginia continued the movement for change and for a check on President Trump’s dangerous agenda, a movement they began last year in their statewide elections.”
