No matter what we locals may think of Moran, lobbyists outside the district view Moran as a heavy hitter. An interesting total derived from the FEC data is the list of the top recipients of Defense and Aerospace PAC donations during the 2003-2004 election cycle. Remember that Moran and other congressmen did not even run for office during this election cycle. Out of 536 elected federal officials, James Moran is number 12 on this list! 1 Bush, George W (R) Pres $147,225 2 Shelby, Richard C (R-AL) Senate $81,144 3 Dodd, Chris (D-CT) Senate $52,450 4 Bond, Christopher S 'Kit' (R-MO) Senate $48,336 5 Hunter, Duncan (R-CA) House $43,350 6 Mikulski, Barbara A (D-MD) Senate $37,000 7 Weldon, Curt (R-PA) House $35,750 8 Lieberman, Joe (D) Pres $33,751 9 Saxton, Jim (R-NJ) House $29,690 10 Reid, Harry (D-NV) Senate $29,000 11 Skelton, Ike (D-MO) House $28,250 12 Moran, Jim (D-VA) House $26,250 13 Murtha, John P (D-PA) House $25,750 14 Bonilla, Henry (R-TX) House $23,000 15 Cramer, Bud (D-AL) House $22,000 METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are based on contributions from PACs and individuals giving $200 or more. All donations took place during the 2003-2004 election cycle and were released by the Federal Election Commission on Monday, November 03, 2003.
Opponents of James Moran have their work cut out for them. These PACs would not have backed even a very popular and well-known challenger such as Kate Hanley.
