For Journalists

I will talk to anyone.

I left Wall Street. I left the Democratic Party. I am running against a three-term incumbent who has taken money from the same investment banks I used to work at — including Centerview Partners, where I worked. I know exactly what those relationships mean. I will explain it to any reporter who asks.

I will sit for any interview — left, right, or center. I will go on any show. I will attend any debate Warner agrees to. I will not send a spokesperson to answer questions I should answer myself.

The press kit has my bio, the full policy platform, and the donor data. If you need something not in there, call William.

Mark Moran looks to lead generational change in Senate bid

Cville Right Now profiles Moran's independent Senate campaign, covering his break from the Democratic Party, his 2% Data Center Fee proposal, the 28th Amendment, and his message to younger Virginia voters. Moran speaks at length about structural economic problems and his appearances before college students including UVA's Darden School.

"We have structural problems with how the economy works, but also how this country's run. And when there's no hope, that creates this disillusionment that makes it so nobody wants to even participate in our civic governance."
