ALEXANDRIA – Brian Moran made the following statement about the passing of former Delegate George Rawlings from Fredericksburg. Rawlings was a leading liberal voice in Virginia politics for over 3 decades, serving as a state Delegate and Democratic leader.
“We’ve lost the passion of a true progressive champion here in Virginia. George was a voice for the voiceless and a fighter for those who needed someone the most.

His loss is Virginia’s loss and he will be missed.”
