HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Leaving the army and finding your next job can be challenging for veterans. Henrico Police Chief Eric English and Army Colonel Toni Reike signed the memorandum of agreement today, signaling an opportunity for soldiers leaving the army to find employment in local law enforcement.

The agreement is part of the Partnership for Youth Success program, also known as PaYS. The program started in 2000 and prepares soldiers for their next careers.

Since 2022, it’s been in the Richmond area. It connects the army with the community and shows what jobs there are in the future.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — U.S. Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia said he will run for re-election in 2024, easing Democrats’ concerns of having a new candidate up against a Republican after the GOP’s statewide victories two years ago.

Sen. Kaine (D-Va.), who has been in the Senate since 2013, announced his re-election bid alongside his wife, Anne Holton, outside a Richmond cafe where he was hosting an economic development roundtable with young state workers, advocates and others.

Democratic senators encouraged Kaine to pursue a third term, he said, but President Joe Biden did not ask him to run. Kaine, 64, listed four reasons for his decision, which he said he “grappled” with and made just last week.
