Former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D) said building talent is one of the keys to improving many issues in the nation, including growing the economy and solving illegal immigration problems at the state and federal levels.
Kaine, a candidate for U.S. Senate, made his case for focusing on talent during a roundtable discussion at City Square Cafe in Old Town Manassas Wednesday.
The 53-year-old said that when he was born the Commonwealth was 38th in the nation in per capita economy. Now, depending on how it is measured, Virginia is ranked as high as number seven, Kaine said.
