Sen. Tim Kaine: On election night Virginia showed its ‘values’

Virginia, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States,[5][6] between the Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna.

The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most-populous city, and Fairfax County is the most-populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth’s population in 2020 was over 8.65 million, with 36% of them living in the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area.

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from Virginia universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the Virginia onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

George Mason University has been our lead university for the Virginia onAir Hub over the past five years. We have identified many of George Mason ’s civic engagement, academic, internship programs, and research initiatives related to making democracy and civic responsibility a central aspect of higher learning. In this post, we have similar information on the other major Virginia universities.

US onAir has had over 40 interns from GMU in the past 5 years developing the state onAir Hubs and national US onAir Hub.
