Holton also visited Lorton during her two-stop tour on Tuesday.
Anne Holton, wife of Virginia senator candidate Tim Kaine, visited the Falls Church-McLean Children’s Center on Tuesday as part of a two-stop tour in Northern Virginia. The center, which currently serves 70 children, has offered affordable pre-K options for about 40-years. “Throughout his career, Tim has always advocated for programs that provide Virginia’s children with the support they need to live healthy, successful lives,” Holton said in a written statement. “As governor, he worked with the legislature to expand the number of children in pre-K by nearly 40 percent and helped pass a bipartisan, record higher education bond package to renovate and construct academic facilities across the state.

Former senator, governor hopes to recapture his old Senate seat.
With congressional primary elections scheduled next week, Patch is profiling each of the four Republican candidates running for the U.S. Senate, who will face each other on the ballot June 12.

One of the hottest races in the U.S.
Early fundraising in the fierce Virginia U.S. Senate race finds former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D) leading his probable Republican opponent George Allen, a former governor and senator, by more than $1 million.

"The numbers confirm our suspicions – Virginia is going to have a very expensive and competitive Senate race," said Geoff Skelley of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. Mark Rozell, a George Mason University professor and Virginia political observer said, "Kaine's lead is impressive, but both candidates are succeeding at …
