Candidate at Virginians for Brian Moran
Washington D.C. Metro Area
Brian Moran has given two decades as a public servant and elected leader, fighting for the working men and women of Virginia. Brian grew up in a middle-class family of seven children that didn’t have much and he took his first job bagging groceries at age 14. After transferring to a college closer to home to care for his ailing father, Brian worked construction, as a bartender, and a gas station attendant to put himself through college and law school. Brian served as a county prosecutor until being elected to the House of Delegates in 1996, where he became Chairman of the Virginia House Democratic Caucus only a few years later.
Brian received his law degree from Catholic University and passed up lucrative private sector work to join the prosecutor’s office in 1989. He worked his way through the ranks to become Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney where he remained until his election to the House of Delegates.
He was an active member of his local community, including service to the United Way, serving as Chairman of the Budget & Fiscal Affairs Advisory Council for the City of Alexandria, and as a member of the Board of Stop Child Abuse Now.
In 1995, the voters of the 46th district elected Brian to the Virginia House of Delegates. During his time in the House, he has worked to crack down on drunk driving, improve Virginia’s small business climate, provide childhood vaccinations and improve preventative health care. He has been a champion for raising teacher salaries and improvements in our transportation system, particularly rail and mass transit. In the House, Brian led the effort for the largest investment in education in Virginia history.

I'll admit it, I'm a big sports fan. I like them all, especially baseball and football, as I played the latter in college. Growing up, my father coached football and even played professionally before I was born.
