Terry McAuliffe has gained the backing of the Richmond Crusade for Voters for his bid to win the Democratic nomination for governor in the upcoming June 9 primary election.
The city’s oldest and largest organized political group Tuesday night endorsed Mr. McAuliffe, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He won over his two rivals in the primary, Bath County state Sen. Creigh Deeds and former Alexandria Delegate Brian J. Moran.
Jeff Bourne, a Richmond attorney who chairs the Crusade’s research committee, announced the results after 80 members voted by secret ballot at the Letter Carriers Union building on Chamberlayne Avenue. The committee itself did not issue a recommendation to the membership in this race.
