Starting at the bottom, and did well. Better than anyone thought was possible.

Linwood Holton, now 92, has been something of a mentor to his son-in-law, and encouraged him to get involved in public service.
But when Kaine decided to run for the racially divided and dysfunctional Richmond City Council in 1994, Holton couldn't believe his ears.
"You're crazy!" Holton recalls telling Kaine, who replied, "But I thought you encouraged me to get into government."
"I did," Holton agreed, adding, "but the city council is where they bury budding politicians."
It didn't work out that way. Kaine proved such a successful peacemaker that the majority black council voted by acclamation to elect him mayor in 1998 and then to re-elect him for a second term.
