Rep. Gerry Connolly Statement on Retirement of Rep. Jim Moran “I’ve worked closely with Jim Moran for 30 years, dating back to his days as a local leader in Alexandria. He has always been a champion for Northern Virginia, a leader on environmental issues, and a fierce defender of the downtrodden. Today we’re losing an influential and senior Member of Congress, a passionate advocate for our region and for the progressive agenda, and someone who has delivered for us time and time again. "But for me, Jim Moran is first and foremost, a dear friend. When I came to Congress as the junior member of the Northern Virginia delegation, Jim was there for me every step of the way. We’ve become true partners and have collaborated on hundreds of issues facing our region. With our Republican colleague Frank Wolf, we’ve beaten back efforts to slash Metro funding, secured federal support for Rail to Dulles, and defended federal employees from withering attacks. "Jim Moran’s record speaks for itself. He was instrumental in securing funding for the Woodrow Wilson Bridge project, got hundreds of millions of dollars to mitigate the effects of BRAC, and has delivered countless times for the hundreds of thousands of federal employees and retirees in Northern Virginia. His is a legacy of service and accomplishment that any of us in public life could be proud of.”
