Lighten Up, It's Just Politics

More than 300 people were on hand for the 2015 edition of Lighten Up, It's Just Politics. This unique event gives politicians from both sides a chance to make light of themselves - and others. Republican State Sen. Tom Garrett served up jokes as Master of Ceremonies and Democratic U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine was the featured standup act.

Lighten Up, It's Just Politics was held May 28, 2015 and grossed $182,000 for the nonprofit Virginia Public Access Project, which connects Virginians with fact-based information about politics in easily understood ways.
