Northern Virginia Rep. Jim Moran (D) will not seek another term in Congress.
“After 35 years as a public servant, as Mayor of Alexandria, and for the past 23 as a member of the House of Representatives, it’s time to close this chapter of my life and move on to the next challenge. It’s been an honor to represent Northern Virginia," Moran said in a statement Wednesday morning. "I couldn’t be more fortunate to have spent my career working with such wonderful people trying to make this one of the best places in the world to live, work and raise a family.
The 12-term congressman represents the heavily Democratic Washington, D.C., suburbs of Arlington and Alexandria, and his seat is sure to remain in Democratic hands.
A crucial appropriator, Moran was the ranking member on the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee and sat on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee in the district that holds the Pentagon and other critical military outposts.
The Virginia congressman is the third Democrat to head for the exits this week, following Rep. George Miller's (Calif.) announcement on Monday and Rep. Bill Owens's (N.Y.) decision Tuesday. Moran is the 15th House member to announce that he or she won't run again in 2014, a list which now includes six Democrats and nine Republicans.
Thank God. Now, can we Tea Party this district, or is it too infested with FedGov careerists?
Retiring to spend more time with his ill gotten goods.
The roster of democrat and RINO retirees is getting to be pretty big.
are the Rats leaving a sinking ship or do they see the Obama iceberg and are getting while getting is good.
I hope it’s a sign the Dems are going to get steamrolled.
Amen! Good riddance to that POS Moran!
“The roster of democrat and RINO retirees is getting to be pretty big.”
with tears rolling down their faces: “the Tea Party has taken away the fun of being in Congress!”
My representative (that didn’t). He is one of the worst ones. Glad to see him leave.
And I’d have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling tea partiers.
Adios nutjob.
Good riddance to bad trash.
“And I’d have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling tea partiers.”
Haha. That’s awesome! And so fitting!!
He may have to spend his ill gotten gains overseas,there’s a storm coming soon in this counrty.
Now he can pursue his hobby full-time which will seriously boost the revenues of his local liquor store.
Where’s that graphic of Curley Bill when you need it?
Well, BYE!
See ya Moron!
Little Jimmy Moron will not be missed, but it’s a district drawn for Dhimmicrats.
At the very least, it mean that the Dems see NO chance of winning the House before 2020, and it’s NO fun being in the minority...
Glad to see this lousy bum and leech shuffle off to wherever. Stinkin loud muoth traitor. Here’s to meetin him in an airport someday.
How bad was the spread there for McAwful vs. Cuch?
2.5%. If the election had been held a week later OR the RNC had given Cuch any meaningful help, Cuch would have won. The RNC is dead to me. They will never see another nickel from me.
