Letter to the Editor: Brian Moran is tops among the Dems

By: Marc Broklawski, Stafford Democratic Committee Chairman

I have had the high honor and privilege of meeting dozens of Democrats running for local, statewide, and federal office.

This year, we have three excellent gubernatorial candidates vying for the Democratic Party nomination; however, I believe one among them rises to the top, possessing the personal attributes and bold, progressive solutions necessary to lead us through these challenging times. That's Brian Moran.

As Brian so eloquently states on the stump, "Public service is not about the politicians, but is about the people we are fighting for."

As the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, he has been on the front lines in the battle to increase the minimum wage and to create an earned income tax credit for Virginia's families; secure the largest investment in public education in Virginia's history; and protect our children from Internet sex predators through passage of Alicia's Law.

There is no one else I would rather have fighting for Virginia than Brain Moran.

Recently, Stafford Democrats met with great success, due in large part to the support we have received from Brian. With his help, the Stafford Board of Supervisors has for the first time flipped to a Democratic majority.

As governor, Brian will work tirelessly to create green jobs; mandate that one-quarter of our energy comes from renewable sources; ban predatory lending practices; require that smart growth planning be a critical part of any comprehensive transportation solution; and ensure that every single child in Virginia is covered by health insurance.

In these challenging times, one thing is clear: we need a governor who matches rhetoric with action.

On June 9, please join me in supporting Brian Moran in the Democratic primary for governor.
