Moran Files Petitions for Governor

~ Unprecedented Support and a Record of Fighting for People~

RICHMOND, Va. – At the State Board of Elections headquarters in Richmond, the Moran campaign submitted 16,928 petition signatures, more than the necessary 10,000 petitions to be placed on the ballot for Governor in the June 9th Democratic primary.

“Today we’ve taken the next step in a campaign built from the bottom up, not the top down,” Brian Moran said. “We have leaders all across Virginia who’ve stepped forward in support of my campaign because we know Virginia needs a governor with a proven record of fighting for people. I’m proud to submit these petitions and put my name on the ballot to continue the work started by Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.”

In recent weeks, Moran has rolled out the boldest energy plan to create thousands of jobs and to oppose offshore drilling and a new coal plan in Surry. He has proposed a health-care plan that insures every Virginia child, a Homeowners’ Bill of Rights to fight foreclosures and a government efficiency plan that makes sure Virginia remains the best-managed state in the nation. He is currently on his “Economic Recovery Tour” outlining his plans to stimulate and restart the economy.

The campaign has an unprecedented list of supporters across Virginia that’s available at: http://www.brianmoran.com/public-endorsements.

Brian Moran has a 20-year fighting for the people of Virginia. He was Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus and a Delegate from Alexandria City and Fairfax County. Prior to that, he served as a prosecutor in Arlington County.
