Brian Moran’s campaign for Governor released its first radio ad today, which will air in the Hampton Roads region beginning Wednesday. The one-minute ad, titled “Standing Up,” features a testimonial from former Delegate Mary Christian of Hampton, a pioneer and leader in the African American community, about Moran’s strong record of fighting for the people of Hampton Roads and all of Virginia. Christian served with Moran in the House of Delegates until her retirement.

“As someone who served side-by-side with Brian for more than a decade, I can tell you personally that he’s always been there and will always be there for us,” Christian says in the ad. “Brian Moran grew up working class and he knows what it means to struggle.”

In 1985, Dr. Christian was the first African-American from Hampton to be elected to the state legislature since Reconstruction. She went on to serve nine consecutive terms representing Virginia’s 92nd House District. For more than twenty-five years, Dr. Christian was a professor at Hampton University in the School of Education.
