Yes, he is SO kind and decent.

Among the things he has done:

In a 1995 battle between two corrupt politicians, Moran scuffled with Rep. Duke Cunningham (just freed from prison last year!) on the House Floor:

Late Friday, Moran pushed Cunningham from behind as they were leaving the House chambers and then took a swing at him, which Cunningham blocked. “He sucker-punched me,” Cunningham said.
During a 2002 congressional hearing, Moran screamed “I’ll break your nose!” at Indiana Republican Rep. Dan Burton.

There was the time the police were called for a domestic incident:

In June 1999, his wife called the cops on him during an argument in which she claims the former boxer grabbed her. Moran, who told police he was only trying to restrain his wife, avoided arrest and no charges were ultimately filed in criminal court. But his wife filed for divorce the following day.
That same year he went after a kid in a parking lot:

Perhaps it was the stress of being in the top 5 percent of income earners, yet broke, that caused him to freak out while visiting an after-school center in Alexandria, Virginia last April. Moran, at this time driving a 1999 Toyota Avalon paid for with campaign contributions, was accused of inappropriately handling an eight-year- old, who he collared and brought to justice after the little tyke tried to carjack Moran. Moran said he feared the bulge in the boy’s pocket was a gun – how was he to know it was actually a baby bottle full of candy? – and that the kid threatened to shoot him if Moran didn’t hand over the car keys. Moran challenged the child’s parenting in the press. The kid’s mom challenged Moran’s judgment.

OTOH, I like Old Town, they deserve much better, sadly they won't be getting it with Don Beyer.

Moran is on Ch 8 now. He doesn't want schools to get security. Funny how he got armed security for himself. Hypocrite.

The women he physically assaulted would not agree with you. He always escaped consequences for battering women.

He was a violent abuser, as is his son.

Reviving a 4 year old thread?

Don Beyer has been a fine representative, and we are now what, two mayors past Moran? And Old Town? Wut? The Mayor is Mayor of the whole City, not just Old Town. And the 8th CD is much bigger than the City of Alexandria.

Don Beyer is a self-aggrandizing, blowhard who's only concern is further inflating his enourmous ego.

I think he has been a solid congressman. As for the last, that is an ironic complaint in this era.
