Tim’s a civil rights attorney who took on housing discrimination and redlining — winning the largest settlement in the country ($100m) for a woman denied a house because she was black.

He took on the NRA in its own back-yard after the Virginia Tech shooting: Meet the Democrat Who Is Challenging Conventional Wisdom on the NRA’s Power,

He’s anti-Keystone (Why Keystone Should Be Stopped), pro-early and higher education, with a 100% Planned Parenthood rating.

Here’s Krystal Ball’s take on the progressive case for Tim Kaine,

And Mother Jones outlining his “history of quiet progressive activism,”

• Elle Marie, @ElleMarie5
  I will say again, Tim Kaine was a genuine advocate for black law students at Richmond Law. Just on the strength of that, he has my vote.
• Madeleine Albright, @madeleine
  .@timkaine is a man of strong values, deep intellect & much experience. As VP, he will be a great governing partner. #ClintonKaine2016
• Ilyse Hogue, @ilyseh
  Clinton-Kaine 2016 has a melodious ring to it. More West Wing theme. Less Apolocalypse Now that Trump-Pence 2016 screams. #ImWithHer
• Cecile Richards, @CecileRichards
  .@HillaryClinton’s VP pick @TimKaine earned a 100% rating on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund scorecard in the Senate.
• Siva Vaidhyanathan, @sivavaid
  Keep hearing Kaine is “safe” and “not courageous.” Here in Virginia he won statewide opposing the NRA, coal, and the death penalty.
• Ari Berman, @AriBerman
  Tim Kaine was fighting housing discrimination as a civil rights lawyer in VA while Trump was refusing to rent to African-Americans in NYC
• Philip Rucker, @PhilipRucker
  Bet we’ll see Kaine’s leadership after ’07 Va Tech shootings to be spotlighted at convention. He was pushing gun control before it was cool.
• Jason Cherkis, @jasoncherkis

  Underrated: Tim Kaine standing up to the tobacco lobby and the gun lobby as governor of a southern state
• Alec MacGillis, @AlecMacGillis
  Kaine was the person who showed NRA could be beaten–even in its home state. Has had an F-rating from it for years, yet won race after race.
