Statement of Governor Kaine on Mark Warner's Announcement Not to Run for President

RICHMOND - Governor Timothy M. Kaine issued the following statement today:

"I can understand and appreciate the difficult decision of my good friend, Mark Warner. I've known Mark for more than 25 years, beginning as law school classmates. During that time, my respect and confidence in his judgment, business skill, and political instincts have only grown. I was proud to work with Mark to produce results for Virginia, and while I looked forward to campaigning on his behalf across the nation, I respect his decision today. Our country is better for his willingness to engage in public service, and I look forward to supporting Mark and his family in whatever decisions they ultimately make about the future."
