Tim Kaine will join his wife, Anne Holton, on the campaign trail in New Hampshire this week
Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton’s campaign announced that Anne Holton, the wife of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, would hit the campaign trail in New Hampshire on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the campaign announced that Kaine will be joining his wife in the Granite State.
The powerhouse Democratic couple—Kaine, a Virginia senator, and Holton, the state’s former secretary of education—are set to swing by campaign field offices in Dover and Laconia during the first half of the day Thursday.
In the afternoon, they will take part in an education round-table at Manchester Community College with Dr. Susan Lynch, the wife of New Hampshire’s former four-term governor, John Lynch.
They will also visit a local Democratic National Committee office in Nashua later in the afternoon for a “women to women” phonebank.
Kaine visited the state in early August for a rally and fundraiser.
Before he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012, Kaine served as Virginia’s governor from 2006 to 2010. Holton, whose father served as Virginia’s governor in the 1970s, resigned from her post as education secretary in July to focus on her husband’s campaign.
Recent general election polls have Clinton and Kaine leading the Republican ticket, Donald Trump and Mike Pence, by an average of nine percentage points in New Hampshire.
