Former DNC Chairman McAuliffe Announces Run for Va. Governor
By Amy Gardner
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, January 3, 2009; 6:36 PMFormer Democratic National Committee chairman and McLean businessman Terry McAuliffe said today he has decided to run for Virginia governor.
In a three-minute video emailed to supporters yesterday afternoon, McAuliffe, 51, said that a two-month tour of the state has convinced him that his business and political experience prepare him to work on issues of concern to Virginians: creating jobs, improving public schools and working toward energy independence.
McAuliffe did not mention his competitors in the June Democratic primary, state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds of Bath County and former state delegate Brian J. Moran of Alexandria. Instead, he sought to contrast himself directly with the Republican nominee, Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell, and to portray himself as a natural successor to former Democratic governor Mark R. Warner, who was elected in November to the U.S. Senate, and Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D).

McAuliffe announces bid for VA governor
Terry McAuliffe on Saturday announced his candidacy for the Virginia governorship, attempting to position himself as the natural successor to Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.
In an e-mail video distributed to supporters, the former Democratic National Committee chairman said he has lived in the commonwealth for almost 20 years and that his campaign would focus on the economy, energy and the records of Warner and Kaine. McAuliffe is a resident of McLean and said he would make a formal announcement on Wednesday.

McAuliffe stops in Shenandoah
Still, “I think there might be room in this race for someone wtih a business background,” McAuliffe said.
“We’ve got some great folks running, my argument is we’ve got to find someone who can create jobs in this state,” he added.
If his campaign were to look anything like his pitch to Shenandoah Democrats, McAuliffe would be running as a pro-business, private-sector economic growth candidate.
He already has a raft of ideas about how to do that.
Virginia should be much more aggressive in recruiting business, he said. Economic growth is the only way the commonwealth can achieve its contradictory goals of lower taxes and better government services.
“If you can’t keep cutting, and you can’t raise taxes, it’s not complicated,” he said.
“You’ve got to grow, you’ve got to bring in business.”
