This weekend was the first Democratic straw poll for the 2009 campaign – and Hampton Roads Democrats OVERWHELMINGLY chose Brian Moran for Governor.

The straw poll was part of an annual Memorial Day Bash in Norfolk.

For the past seven years, Brian has been traveling across the state in support of strong Democratic candidates. He’s led House Democrats to their largest gains since Herbert Hoover was President. In that time, he helped elect former Navy commanders and police officers, community leaders and school teachers, and many more. People across Virginia have come to know Brian and are showing their support.

Democrats all over Virginia are stepping up to help Brian as he gets ready for 2009. Just in the past few weeks he’s been asked to help fire up Democrats for 2008 – from the Shenandoah Valley to Fairfax County, from Richmond to Norfolk.
