Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine attended Colonial Inauguration this weekend for his son Nat, an incoming freshman.
Christine Cruzvergara, director of CI, said Kaine attended several events and was accompanied by a security escort dressed in street clothes.
“The governor wanted to keep a low profile this weekend,” Cruzvergara said. “He wanted to be a regular parent.”
Kaine, a Democrat, was the first statewide elected official outside Illinois to endorse Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president. He has been mentioned as a possible running mate for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Nat, a graduate of Maggie Walker High School in Richmond, Va., campaigned for Obama, headlining a “Students for Barack Obama” tour with actor Kal Penn.
Nat is the eldest of the three Kaine children. Kaine and his wife Anne Holton also have a daughter, Annella, and a son, Woody.
