Thomas Warren Moss Jr. (October 3, 1928 – November 26, 2015) was an American politician, most recently serving as the City Treasurer of Norfolk, a post to which he was elected in 2001.
As a member of the Young Democratic Club of Norfolk, Moss was active in the 1960 presidential campaign of John F. Kennedy.
Democrats technically held a one-vote majority in the 1997–98 session; in fact the House was split 50-50, since the one independent member, Lacey Putney, caucused with the Republicans.
[1] Four years later, Moss faced an internal challenge for the Democratic nomination, where concerns were expressed about his age and health.
Moss chose instead to run as an independent, winning the reelection with 45% of the vote in a four-way race with three African-American opponents.
