Kaine Lends Shannon A Hand

Gov. Tim Kaine sent out an email to supporters today on behalf of Steve Shannon, encouraging them to attend a fundraiser for the Democratic nominee for attorney general later this month.

Kaine, who also serves as his party's national chairman, sent the email out though his in-state political action committee, Moving Virginia Forward.

"The next Attorney General of Virginia will be charged with a great responsibility in upholding the highest ethical standards and keeping our families safe from crime,'' Kaine wrote. "For this reason, I am asking you to support my friend - Steve Shannon - for Attorney General of the Commonwealth."

Kaine will headline a fundraiser for Shannon at the Charlottesville home of former congressman L.F. Payne.
