Democratic Party Kaine on education

  • During his first official speech as Hillary Clinton's running mate, Kaine described making tough decisions while serving as governor of Virginia during the "deepest recession since the 1930s.” Kaine said, “But that did not stop us from expanding early childhood education, from building more classrooms and facilities on our college campuses so that more can go to school – because we knew that education was a key to everything we wanted to achieve as a state and it is the key to everything we want to achieve as a nation.”[1]
  • As governor of Virginia and a U.S. senator, Kaine promoted career and technical education programs and apprenticeships.[2]
  • Kaine was a proponent of early childhood education. As governor of Virginia, he increased pre-kindergarten enrollment by nearly 40 percent. In the Senate, Kaine introduced a bill to expand access to early learning programs.[1]
