Tim Kaine for Support of H.R. 2043

The final individual we e-mailed is former Governor Tim Kaine. He is currently the chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). As a party, Democrats typically support health care reform and support the Affordable Care Act. As the chairman for the DNC, Tim Kaine should know how H.R. 2043 will affect nurses in the future, and he should know what current nursing students’ opinions on the bill are. With his extensive network, Tim Kaine can help raise awareness about the nursing shortage and the Nurse Education, Expansion, and Development Act of 2009.
