Legal Career and Political Beginnings
Kaine initially worked as a law clerk for Judge R. Lanier Anderson III, before joining the law firm Little, Parsley & Cluverius, P.C. In 1987 he became a director of the law firm Mezzullo & McCandlish, P.C., and over the next 17 years continued practicing law while based in Richmond, specializing in fair housing while also representing clients discriminated against due to disability or race. He became a board member of Housing Opportunities Made Equal’s Virginia chapter, and one of his most notable endeavors was prosecuting a lawsuit against Nationwide Mutual insurance Co., which resulted in a $17.5 million settlement.
He also taught at the University of Richmond School of Law as an adjunct professor, and wasn’t really interested in politics until later in his life. However, due to the influence of his wife and attending Richmond city council meetings, he was elected onto Richmond’s city council, and after two years was then elected as mayor of Richmond, succeeding Larry Chavis, becoming the city’s first white mayor in more than 10 years. During his tenure, the homicide rate in the city fell by 55%, and he consequently garnered a lot of political support thanks to his policies.

Political Rise
In 2001, Tim ran for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and won, serving in the position for the next four years. He then ran for governor of Virginia and despite being considered an underdog during the race, he ultimately prevailed. As Governor, he made numerous moves to preserve large environmental areas of the state ,while also pursuing various health-related issues, as well as stabilizing the state during the financial crisis. In 2007, he announced his support for Senator Obama’s presidential bid, and was initially considered for a vice-president run but ultimately wasn’t chosen by Obama.
In 2009, he became the chair of the Democratic National Committee, but kept a low profile for most of his time there. Three years later, he ran for Senate and was able to win the election. He became a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, and later tried his hand in a vice presidential campaign endorsing Hillary Clinton. However, he lost his bid, making it the only election he ever lost. He recently announced that he would run for a re-election to the Senate in 2018.

He is also the first ever member of a presidential ticket to deliver a speech in fluent Spanish.
Over the past 32 years, my wonderful wife has been the best partner I could have hoped for. I’m so lucky to have her by my side. Happy Valentine’s Day, Anne!
