CompareBiography
Timothy Michael Kaine ( KAYN; born February 26, 1958) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the junior United States senator from Virginia, a seat he has held since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he served from 2006 to 2010 as the 70th governor of Virginia and from 2002 to 2006 as the 38th lieutenant governor of Virginia. Kaine was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in the 2016 presidential election, running alongside presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Kaine grew up in Overland Park, Kansas. He graduated from the University of Missouri and earned a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School. Afterward, he entered private practice and became a lecturer at the University of Richmond School of Law. He was first elected to public office in 1994, when he won a seat on the Richmond city council. He was elected mayor of Richmond in 1998, holding that position until being elected lieutenant governor of Virginia in 2001. Kaine was elected governor of Virginia in 2005 and held that office from 2006 to 2010. He chaired the Democratic National Committee from 2009 to 2011. In 2012, Kaine was elected to the U.S. Senate, defeating former Virginia governor and senator George Allen. He was reelected to a second term by a wide margin in 2018, defeating Republican nominee Corey Stewart, and to a third term in 2024, defeating Republican nominee Hung Cao. In 2016, presidential nominee Clinton selected Kaine as her running mate for that year's presidential election. While winning a plurality of the national popular vote, Clinton and Kaine lost the Electoral College, and therefore the general election, to the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
