Likely Candidate Moran Opens Richmond Office

Del. Brian J. Moran of Alexandria, who is expected to run for the Democratic nomination for governor next year, has opened an office in downtown Richmond.

Moran, who is chairman of the Democratic caucus in the House of Delegates, had all his staff (about seven people) working out of an office in Alexandria until last month. Now, one staffer who is raising money has been located a few blocks from the Capitol in Richmond. That office is likely to expand in the coming months.

Moran will face Sen. R. Creigh Deeds (D-Bath), who also has seven staffers spread out around the state. Some work in Deeds' offices in Richmond and Charlottesville; others work out of their homes.

The Democratic nominee will probably face Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell, who is expected to be the Republican nominee. McDonnell has one paid staffer in Richmond.
