On Monday, Oct. 21, Sen. Tim Kaine was the club’s guest at a meeting at the LOW Clubhouse. He fielded questions from a standing-room-only audience about health insurance, term limits, federal funding of programs for crime victims, Social Security, Supreme Court ethics and a variety of other topics. Sen. Kaine is running for his third term as U.S. senator.
Volunteers who want to support the effort to turn out the Democratic vote in Lake of the Woods will have an opportunity from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15, in the Trophy Room in the Woods Building.
Hundreds of hand-written postcards are being written and mailed to residents encouraging them to vote in the Nov. 5 election. Many of them were prepared at a club meeting on Oct. 10, but there are still many left to be written and mailed.
The club has purchased more than 1,000 postcards printed with the message, “Freedom, Hope, Progress for Lake of the Woods.” They are being sent to friends and neighbors throughout the neighborhood.
Sen. Tim Kaine, who has served Virginia in the U.S. Senate since 2013, will visit Lake of the Woods on Monday, Oct. 21, to meet local voters as he seeks re-election to a third term.
The event, hosted by the Lake of the Woods Democratic Club, will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Club Room of the LOW Clubhouse. Everyone is welcome to attend and light refreshments will be served.
Sen. Kaine’s lifetime of service to the Commonwealth includes serving as mayor of Richmond, as lieutenant governor and governor of Virginia and as the Democratic nominee for vice president of the United States in 2016. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from the University of Missouri in 1979 and a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1983.
During his tenure in the Senate, Sen. Kaine has contributed to expanding educational opportunities and access to affordable health care for all Americans, improving the quality of life for our troops, reducing military spouse unemployment, funding local law enforcement, addressing the opioid crisis and lowering prescription drug costs.
“The American Dream belongs to all of us….Our unity is our strength, and our diversity is our power. We reject the myth of “us” vs. “them.” We are in this together”
Vice president — Tim Walz
“Our nation is defined by an unshakable belief that we, the people, have the ability to control our destiny. A belief that anyone can reach out and grab opportunity and create a more prosperous future for themselves, their children and their grandchildren.”
U.S. Senate — Tim Kaine
“Like a lot of people, I have been a leader in some things, and I’ve been a follower in some things. I know how to work on a team. And most of life, frankly, to get things done you have to get done, you’ve got to work as a team.”
House of Representatives — Eugene Vindman
“America must remain a refuge for families like mine, where hard work matters, truth prevails, rights are protected, and we are all free to be who we are and pursue our dreams in this land of opportunity.”
