WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tim Kaine released the following statement on Congressman Frank Wolf’s announcement that he will retire after 17 terms in Congress:
“For more than 30 years, Frank Wolf has exemplified the best in public service through his dedication to the people of Virginia’s 10th District. Frank’s passion has also extended to the global stage through his leadership on the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission and longtime support for religious freedom around the world – an effort that has inspired me to take up the cause of religious freedom in my own work on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
“It’s been a sincere honor to work with him this past year, as well as during my time as Governor. His leadership of Virginia’s congressional delegation and his service to the people of Northern Virginia will truly be missed.”
