Brian Moran concluded his Virginia Values Tour today with the overwhelming majority of Arlington County elected officials endorsing his campaign for Governor. The Virginia Values Tour began on November 13 in bellwether Loudoun County and concludes today in heavily Democratic Arlington. The tour ends where Moran’s career in public service began as a prosecutor two decades ago.

Moran received six major endorsements that demonstrate leadership within the Democratic party, his statewide electability, understanding of rural issues, ability to continue the work of Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, and confirmation of his ability to be Virginia’s chief executive.

• Democratic Party of Virginia Executive Committee. The majority of the party leaders on the Democratic party’s Steering Committee came out for Brian because of his two-decade record as a fighter for Virginia Democrats.

• Hampton Roads. In an unprecedented statement, the mayors of Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach united to back Brian Moran as the next chief executive of Virginia.
