STAFFORD — Former Gov. Tim Kaine will hold an economic roundtable in Stafford County on Saturday, visiting with local veterans and military families.
The meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. at The Globe & Laurel Restaurant at 3987 Jefferson Davis Hwy., and there, Kaine plans to speak about his method of creating jobs by way of a national talent economy, a balanced approach to deficit reduction and finding common ground in Washington, D.C.
Veterans will also be able to discuss the challenges they’ve faced with respect to the economy and jobs, and Kaine will discuss job recovery and creation, according to a press release from his office.
