Friends, this November is a huge deal.
Yes, I’m talking about the historic election in front of us in less than one week — we’re all working around the clock to ensure that my husband Tim Kaine is re-elected, that we send Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to the White House, and that we flip the House of Representatives to a Democratic majority. But what you probably don’t know is that this November is also a big milestone for Tim and me personally — we will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary on November 24th, 2024!
In honor of our 40th, I wanted to share a few favorite pix from over the years… |
The dating days… were we ever so young?! |
This is from our wedding announcement in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. |
With then-Senator Barack Obama and Michelle Obama in 2007, while Tim was Governor of Virginia and Barack was running for president. |
Tim being sworn in as U.S. Senator in 2013 by then-Vice President Joe Biden as I held the bible. |
At the Democratic National Convention in 2016. What a time! |
Canoeing Virginia’s James River together |
And of course, launching Tim’s 2024 re-election campaign! |
My mom and dad, Linwood and Jinks Holton, often said that for them, serving Virginia was “the family business,” and it’s with great humility and honor that Tim and I have worked to continue that family tradition of doing whatever we can to serve this great Commonwealth and the amazing people who call it home. It is in that spirit that Tim is running for re-election. Like me — and like you — he believes in Virginia, and believes in the future we can create if good hearts and hard work come together.
It’s going to be a tough push to get through these final 6 days to Election Day. The polls all around the country show close elections in every battleground, and Tim is up against a well-funded opponent.
I’m coming to you for help: Will you pitch in whatever amount is meaningful to you to help make sure we can win big? |

Tim and I will be celebrating love and hope this November with our 40th anniversary — and it is my dearest wish that ALL of America may be celebrating those same things with the election of Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and so many fantastic and service-oriented Democrats all around the country. Thank you for reading and for your continued support. -Anne Holton |
