Washington, D.C. – Following today’s announcement that Hillary Clinton has asked Senator Tim Kaine to be her vice president, LCV Action Fund Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Tiernan Sittenfeld issued the following statement:

“Awesome choice, Hillary! We’re thrilled that Hillary has picked Senator Tim Kaine to be her running mate. As mayor, governor, and senator, he has a proven track record as an environmental leader who has worked to combat climate change, grow our clean energy economy and protect special places in Virginia and across the country. An environmental champion with an impressive 91% score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard, Senator Kaine is a fantastic addition to the presidential ticket. LCV Action Fund could not be more excited to help elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine the next president and vice president of the United States. Onward!”
