Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) is retiring from Congress, Roll Call reported Wednesday. Moran, who served in the House of Representatives for the last 23 years and is a former mayor of Alexandria, told Roll Call "it’s time to close this chapter of my life and move on to the next challenge."

“I prepare to leave Congress feeling very fortunate, grateful for what we’ve accomplished, and optimistic for the future of Northern Virginia, the Washington Metropolitan Region, and our nation," Moran said.
