Tim Kaine reported $34,132 in gifts in 2009, his last year as governor, mostly funding from the Democratic National Committee for political travel. Kaine was then the DNC chairman.

Kaine’s office recently gave the Virginia Public Access Project a copy of his Statement of Economic Interests for 2009, which was due in January 2010.

VPAP says it did not request a copy of Kaine’s disclosure form at the time from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, because it was then VPAP’s procedure to request forms filed by the incoming governor. Bob McDonnell was inaugurated Jan. 16, 2010.

Kaine is now a U.S. senator from Virginia and the Democratic nominee for vice president.

The report of his 2009 disclosures does not alter the narrative on Kaine and gifts. The gifts were legal under state law, and there is no indication that Kaine accepted gifts he did not report. But the report rounds out the portrait on the gifts he accepted and reported as lieutenant governor and governor.
