Campaign kickoff //
U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine speaks to enthusiastic supporters Monday evening at the Maggie Walker Governor’s School as he launches his campaign for a second, six-year term in Washington. The Richmond rally was the first of 22 stops the incumbent Democrat scheduled in his bid for a November election victory. Sen. Kaine, 60, is a former Virginia governor and Richmond mayor who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012. Three archconservative Republican supporters of President Trump will face-off in a June 12 GOP primary for the opportunity to challenge Sen. Kaine in November. They are Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors; Delegate Nick Freitas of Culpeper; and E.W. Jackson of Chesapeake, a minister and attorney who failed in his 2013 bid for lieutenant governor.
