Yesterday morning, Brian Moran joined the folks at The Shad Plank blog to answer questions about the 2007 races as well as local issues such as transportation, health care, and ensuring economic opportunity for all Virginians. As Brian explained, Democratic success in the 2007 elections will be a boon for all Virginians.

Having a Democratic Senate and more moderate House of Delegates will provide three significant changes in Virginia(1) it will ensure reliable partners for Governor Kaine in his agenda for the remainder of his term; (2) it protects Virginia from hyper partisan one-sided redistricting in 2011 (like the process in 2001) where voters are driven into heavily Republican or heavily Democratic districts to maximize party advantage; (3) it will give life to some initiatives that may build momentum in a new Democratic Senate and have the momentum to carry forward in the House.

Moran, D-Alexandria, is perhaps the most visible Democratic face in a House of Delegates that is controlled by Republicans.
During the past week and a half, he’s put 2,500 miles on his car driving around the state in support of Democratic candidates.
