Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine hosted a ‘Commonwealth Coffee’ this morning in Washington.  The event was open to all Virginia constituents, and more than 150 came to meet the two Senators and hear them speak about sequestration and the other challenges that Congress and the Commonwealth will face in the coming months.

This was the 25^th Commonwealth Coffee hosted by Senator Warner, but the first that included Senator Kaine.  Senator Warner expressed his gratitude for having a partner in the Senate similarly inclined towards bipartisan problem solving. 

“This is my favorite Commonwealth Coffee of all those that I’ve done,” said Senator Warner, “because I get to share it with my friend of more than 30 years, an eternal optimist, Senator Tim Kaine.” 

Senator Warner went on to thank those in attendance, and to reaffirm his commitment to working towards balanced solutions to the issues facing the nation.
