Democratic Party of Virginia Chairman Brian Moran announced Wednesday that he will resign his post next month after an election cycle that saw President Obama carry the state and U.S. Senator-elect Tim Kaine keep retiring U.S. Sen. Jim Webb's seat in Democratic hands.
Delegate Charniele Herring, Alexandria Democrat and the House Minority Whip, announced Wednesday that she will be running to replace Mr. Moran.
