Del. Brian J. Moran, D-Alexandria, resigned from the House of Delegates on Dec. 12 to run full-time for governor. Moran is in a three-way race for the Democratic nomination. According to the Washington Post, there is no indication yet of a similar move by fellow contender Sen. R. Creigh Deeds, D-Bath County. The latest addition to the field, Terry McAuliffe, is unencumbered by any legislative duties.
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has called a special election for Moran’s seat in the 46th District for Jan. 13. That date ensures that the seat will be filled by a new delegate in time to begin the 2009 General Assembly session on Jan. 14.
