I’m running for City Council because I want Alexandria to be a safe, affordable and beautiful community in which to live, work, play and raise a family. We are a caring community that provides high-quality services to rich and poor, young and old alike. We should always be proud of our inclusivity, our diversity, our public school system and our commerce. It is who we are.
I am a product of this community from birth. I attended Cora Kelly Elementary School and G.W. Middle School. I grew up playing soccer with the Del Ray Dragons, riding my bike up and down Mt. Ida, gardening with my mother and accompanying my father from one event to another in Alexandria and across Northern Virginia.
Alexandria residents might be familiar with Patrick Moran’s last name, but the City Council candidate, entrepreneur and son of former Congressman and Mayor Jim Moran said he is ready to chart a new course for the city and himself.
“I see an opportunity and I know and understand that I have an ability to impact positive change, to bring about positively impacting our decision-making process that ultimately respects our communities, empowers our neighborhoods, protects our environment and looks forward to our future generations,” Moran said.
A Yale graduate with a degree in political science, a focus on climate change and a “dual degree with football,” Moran, who was born and raised in Alexandria, is no stranger to politics. His father served as mayor of Alexandria from 1985 to 1991 and as a Virginia Congressman from 1991 to 2015.
