ASHEVILLE – A jobs training center just south of downtown has been announced as the location for a campaign rally featuring Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine on Monday.

The event will be held at Arthur R. Edington Education and Career Center, 133 Livingston St. It is scheduled to run 6:30-8 p.m. and doors open at 4:30 p.m., the Hillary Clinton campaign says.

Kaine is a U.S. senator from Virginia and was formerly that state's governor.

He will be accompanied by his wife, Anne Holton, who was Virginia's secretary of education until she stepped down last month to focus on the campaign.

The Clinton campaign said Kaine will speak on Clinton's jobs plan.

The Edington Center, formerly known as the W.C. Reid Center, includes a job training center that is home to Green Opportunities. Green Opportunities is a nonprofit organization that trains low-income people for jobs in the construction, maintenance, building trades, culinary and restaurant fields. The center is a facility of the Housing Authority of the City of Asheville.

The Clinton campaign asks that those attending RSVP through the events section of the Clinton campaign website, www.HillaryClinton.com/events, to reserve a space. A direct link is located here.
