<h4>Virginia's proposed congressional districts and who is running | Special Report</h4>

<p><strong>Our rural communities are under threat from a deluge of data centers and the transmission lines and power plants required to support them. </strong>Tom strongly opposes Valley Link, and he is not waiting until he is in office to fight it. He has been in the fight alongside residents and community groups, raising awareness and donations for efforts to Block Valley Link. Tom is prepared to use his office in Congress to help communities defeat this project.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Defeating Valley Link </h2>

<p>“This is just ridiculous — McGuire is using insider information to make himself richer while voting to make all of us poorer,” said Tom Perriello, the Democratic candidate challenging McGuire in Virginia's 5th District.&nbsp;“No wonder McGuire has been hiding from his constituents for nearly two years. He has been voting to raise our taxes and costs, while making sure to look out for himself.”</p>

<p>HARRISONBURG, Va. — On Tuesday, March 10 at 11:30 a.m. at Sage Bird Ciderworks, former Congressman Tom Perriello and Harrisonburg community members will join Protect Our Care Virginia to discuss <a href="https://gcdtx86ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001iHemUO3XuduTd99qFW43hRn8_JJZxeLVEYhUmfNdHnr5qXZJq-ySBrYSiC8Yld-E_A92R0Bq0ImPaLwtjtlvTVxMHW8cRVNbw4cgjejvsP3GRdJ33NUcoQCMbb4xLrHf76cwmGjN1xbfapEo_vFgBbMI1Acg_NM09MilfyPUgV3QVCV2LLjMU4PGfcw7wmuHkXEFrAHVfGZ61PTuGsUWXevSHZKfpRu1A9wTEMlgbFBj2n-bIMYNDw==&amp;c=pmxDyIry_uUMpZS2UBPSUHWg458mkrOkyFETW_qjGpB68cy_7xxgEg==&amp;ch=c2F511uuB_4IRcG6uiU8DqLzpuBqtB0t4horqBneQKyK2j9kEBngog==" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a new report</a> kicking off Protect Our Care’s March Madness campaign, which highlights how Donald Trump and his allies in Congress, including Rep. Ben Cline, are turning their backs on the American people and gutting health care coverage to give the ultra-wealthy another tax break.</p>

<h4>Former Congressman Tom Perriello &amp; Harrisonburg Community Members to Discuss New Health Care Report</h4>

<p>HARRISONBURG, VA (<a href="http://rocktownnow.com/">Rocktown Now</a>) — Former Congressman Tom&nbsp;Perriello&nbsp;and several Harrisonburg community members held a roundtable discussion today at Sage Bird&nbsp;Ciderworks&nbsp;to discuss&nbsp;healthcare under the Trump&nbsp;Administration.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Former Congressman Tom Perriello joins Harrisonburg community members in roundtable discussion</h4>

<p>After voters approved a congressional map that would have likely given Democrats a major advantage, various candidates across the state shifted to run in differing districts - including <a href="https://www.tomperriello.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tom Perriello</a>, a former U.S. Representative, former U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan and 2017 gubernatorial candidate.</p>

<h4>10 more things to know about the Democrats’ proposed redistricting map</h4>

<p>ROANOKE, Va. — On Friday, March 6 at 11 a.m., former Congressman Tom Perriello will visit Evie’s Bistro and Bakery for an informal roundtable on how a Paid Family and Medical Leave program would benefit women-owned small businesses.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Former Congressman Tom Perriello to Visit Evie’s Bistro & Bakery for Roundtable</h4>

<p>Tom Perriello, a Virginia Democrat who was swept from the House in 2010, in large part because of his vote for the Affordable Care Act, is trying for a comeback this year — but far from running away from that vote more than a dozen years ago, he’s embracing it.</p><p>“What’s aged politically even better than my support for the A.C.A.,” Mr. Perriello said, “was the fact that I was pushing right to the end for it to be stronger.”</p>

<h4>When Voters Worry About ‘Affordability,’ Many Point to Health Care</h4>

<p>Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, said Perriello enters the race as a clear favorite for the Democratic nomination, citing his experience, name recognition and political network.</p><p>“Perriello is a ringer for the Democratic nomination,” Sabato said. “He has national, international, as well as local contacts galore. He has the financing that he’s going to need to run. He has the right positioning for this particular year.”</p>

<h4>Analysis: Tom Perriello brings experience to Virginia’s Fifth, faces tough district</h4>

<p><strong>We must ensure that our seniors receive the benefits they have been promised. </strong> Your benefits and the future of Social Security and Medicare should not be auctioned off to private investors who seek to reap profits off your lifetime of contribution. For those living on a fixed income, these skyrocketing costs of gas and groceries are effectively the same as cutting Social Security.</p>

<h2>Protecting Social Security, Medicare &amp; Our Seniors</h2>

<p>Republican incumbent John McGuire and Democratic challenger Tom Perriello are both centering their campaigns on the economy and affordability, while offering sharply different visions for addressing rising costs facing voters across the district.</p>

<h4>Candidates clash over economy, affordability in 5th District race</h4>

<p>At an event to open his campaign headquarters Saturday, the Democratic candidate for the 5th District laid out his path to victory.</p>

<h4>Big local turnout, overperforming in red areas key for Tom Perriello</h4>

<p>Calling the current political situation "an all-hands on deck moment," former Virginia Congressman Tom Perriello announced his comeback candidacy in the 5th district on Tuesday morning.</p>

<h4>Tom Perriello to run for Democratic nomination in 5th district</h4>

<p>Amid clinic closures, projected hospital funding cuts, and millions at risk of losing health insurance, health care issues will put Democrats on the offensive against Republicans.&nbsp;</p><p>“It’s easy to think that the country is polarized, but there is a lot that is uniting people,” Periello said in a recent call. “The hunger for more affordable health care crosses all district lines.”</p>

<h4>Health care costs and access will feature prominently in 2026 Congressional Midterms</h4>

<p>Charlottesville’s event also included a number of tables set up by supporters of the <a href="https://cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-state-supreme-court-rules-redistricting-referendum-can-occur-while-it-considers-the-case/">redistricting referendum</a>, who urged attendees to vote yes on the amendment, as well as volunteers with local Democratic congressional candidates, drumming up support for&nbsp; Tom Perriello, Suzanne Kryzanowski and others.</p>

<h4>Thousands gather once again in Charlottesville, Forest Lakes for ‘No Kings’</h4>

<p>One advantage that Perriello might have, Richards said, is that “McGuire is a relatively weak candidate, he hasn’t done very much, he hasn’t sort of been out and about until the last few weeks, and maybe there’s some chance, and Perriello is relatively well known.</p>

<h4>What the Virginia Supreme Court decision means for 5th and 6th district candidates</h4>

<p>Former U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5th, is attempting to make a comeback, 15 years after he left office, as he campaigns in Lynchburg and surrounding counties, with the goal of winning back his old seat next November.</p>

<h4>Perriello prioritizes Lynchburg voters in bid to reclaim old congressional seat</h4>

<p>Tom Perriello stood before a packed house of Fifth District voters at the Senior Statesmen of Virginia's Candidate Forum in Charlottesville Tuesday. At the same time, Rep. John McGuire was far away in Dallas, livestreaming himself at a partisan pay-to-play event that required Members of Congress to pony up at least $25,000 just to be in the audience.</p>

<h4>McGuire Hides from Debating Perriello by Wasting $25k on Nose Bleed Seats at MAGA Rally in Dallas</h4>

<p>Tom Perriello called out Congressman John McGuire today for refusing to commit to any public debates ahead of the November election, choosing instead to hide from his constituents and evade questions regarding his unethical stock transactions.&nbsp;</p>

<h4>McGuire Refuses Public Debates; Perriello Confirms He is Ready</h4>

<p>“I just walked into a food pantry in the Shenandoah Valley and the African-American woman who runs it broke down in tears and said for the first time in her life she thought she was going to have representation,” Mr. Perriello recalled Friday. “This is what the last two months have been about, about hope for the first time for people.”</p>

John McGuire is “especially weak this election cycle because of his refusal to host public events and engage with the community.”</p>

<p>Tom is focused on getting costs down, paychecks up, and corruption out lowering costs, raising wages, and taking government back from the powerful special interests driving up prices for working families.</p>

<h4>Perriello Launches General Election Campaign to Lower Costs, Tackle Corruption, Restore Common Sense</h4>

<p>HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - At a community gathering at Sage Bird Cider Works, local Democrats and health care providers said they are deeply worried about the rising cost of care and what they described as a system tilted in favor of insurance companies rather than patients.</p>

<h4>Local Democrats, medical providers talk health care issues at community gathering</h4>

<p>The endorsements are rolling in and the opponents are dropping out as Democrat Tom Perriello prepares to take another swing at his old seat in Congress.</p>

<h4>Democrats clear way for Perriello to retake old congressional seat</h4>

<p>"I think that our politics right now don't fit neatly into red and blue, despite how it's covered," he said.</p><p>If elected, Perriello said he'd bring jobs to the area and lower the cost of living: "I don't care what your political affiliation is, I still think you deserve a raise, and I think your costs should come down."</p>

<h4>Perriello Opposes NextEra Takeover of Virginia’s Utilities; Calls on McGuire to Stop Cashing Checks</h4>

<p>CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- Tom Perriello stopped in Charlottesville on Sunday, meeting with community members as part of his campaign for Congress.</p><p>Perriello said he’s encouraging voters to support the upcoming referendum.

We cannot let insurance companies keep rationing care, driving up costs, and preventing doctors and nurses from providing the care they have trained their whole lives to provide, because insurance lobbyists paid this Congress to add on layer after layer of red tape and pre-authorizations. We need a system that rewards healthcare providers for keeping us healthy, and reverses the slow death of rural healthcare clinics, hospitals, and services.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h2>Healthcare You Can Afford</h2>

<p><strong>We are honored that Virginia’s Fifth district has produced and continues to house thousands of veterans and military families. </strong>Veterans earned their benefits and our respect by serving our country. They deserve to be greeted every day with honor not with red tape and hoops to jump through, just to access the benefits they have more than earned. Tom has spent years fighting to keep our nation’s promises to service members, veterans, and their families. And he has produced results that make a real difference to those who have served.</p>

<h2>Honoring Our Veterans</h2>

<p>Tom Perriello discusses why he's running for Virginia's 5th District Congressional Seat.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">"The biggest challenge right now is the affordability of the American dream.&nbsp; We see that with trying to get the healthcare system working for people again, we see it with electric bills that are too high, we see it with just&nbsp; bad priorities in Washington - corrupt priorities...."</span></p>

<h4>Tom Perriello, Democratic Candidate for Virginia’s 5th District Congressional Seat</h4>

<p><a href="https://www.tomperriello.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Tom Perriello</strong></a> knew when he cast his vote for the <strong>Affordable Care Act</strong> in 2010 that it may very well cost him his job as a freshman congressman.</p><p>He did it anyway.</p><p>Because it was the right thing to do.</p>

<h4>Tom Perriello: ‘What people remember is when we stand up for people’</h4>

<p>“There’s nobody I would trust more to run this campaign, because Lily is dedicated to giving hardworking families across the Blue Ridge a fair shot, and she knows how to win,” said Perriello in a statement. “She knows that families around here deserve more from Congress than jacked up prices and rural healthcare cuts. I know that no one will work harder for our region to get a real voice in Congress.”</p>

<h4>Tom Perriello taps Southwest Virginia rising star Lily Franklin as campaign manager</h4>

<p>Former U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5th, will continue to run for Congress, whether it’s in the existing 5th Congressional District, or the 6th district under a new congressional map proposed by Democrats in Richmond.</p>

<h4>Tom Perriello wants to represent Nelson County, regardless of redistricting</h4>

<p>Mike Pruitt, who is currently a member of the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, announced on Wednesday that he would end his campaign for the congressional seat currently held by Republican John McGuire.</p><p>Instead, Pruitt is endorsing fellow Democrat Tom Perriello, who represented the Fifth District from 2009 to 2011, when he lost to Republican Robert Hurt.</p>

<h4>Charlottesville and Albemarle County Officials Back Tom Perriello for Congress</h4>

<p>Democrat Tom Perriello has nearly three times as much money in his campaign treasury as Republican incumbent John McGuire as the two candidates prepare for an expected fall clash in the Republican-leaning 5th Congressional District.</p>

<h4>Perriello has nearly three times as much cash as McGuire; Macy outraises Cline</h4>

<p><strong>If you work hard, you should be able to afford a home. </strong>Instead, home prices are outpacing wages, rents are rising fast, and too many families are being priced out of the communities where they grew up. In parts of this district, rents have jumped more than 25% since the pandemic, and a median-income family cannot afford the median-priced home. Tom is focused on bringing costs down and restoring a fair housing market. That means building more housing, cutting red tape, and taking on the corporate practices that are driving prices higher.</p>

<h2>A Home You Can Afford</h2>

<p>"I'm hearing about this from people of every political stripe," Perriello said. "I don't just mean red and blue. I mean the whole colors of the rainbow. People from very different political ideologies can agree on the simple thing: Local communities have to have a voice. Local communities have to have a stake in this, and we can't abuse people's property rights in this way without a benefit to communities and without that transparent process."</p>

<h4>Perriello addresses Valley Link project</h4>

<p>“This is an opportunity to have someone who’s going to really care about this area and the communities across the Blue Ridge and really focus on making health care more affordable, ending this war that nobody thinks is a good idea and bringing down prices,” Perriello said, “and I think that’s what people feel they’re going to get from the Perriello campaign.”</p>

<h4>Albemarle County Democrats hold spring fundraiser, talk redistricting and elections</h4>

<p>Perriello said during a Tuesday press conference that the court’s ruling is “a series of decisions by unelected judges who will make it more likely that there’s not that system of checks and balances at play,” adding that its decision will “basically leave extremely unrepresentative and rigged maps in place.”</p><p>He added that he will not drastically pivot his campaign strategies despite the court ruling, but said that he remains committed to defeating incumbent VA-05 Rep. John McGuire (R).&nbsp;</p>

<h4>State leaders react to Virginia Supreme Court overturning redistricting referendum</h4>

<p>Organized by JMU students and city representatives, the event featured speeches given by Harrisonburg City Mayor Deanna Reed, former District 34 Democratic candidate Andrew Payton, congressional candidate Tom Perriello, Councilwoman Monica Robinson and Harrisonburg-Rockingham NAACP Vice President David Evans, alongside several JMU and EMU students.</p>

Perriello takes a sizable lead in the poll once voters learn more about both candidates' records.

<h2>Healthcare</h2>

<p>“What I'm most proud of with the Affordable Care Act fight was right up until the last minute of it, I was fighting with [President Barack Obama] for it to be stronger,” Perriello said. “I was fighting for it to have a public option. I was fighting for there to be a Medicare buy for people who are 50 and above. I was fighting for stronger negotiation on prescription drug rates. That should have been the floor of making healthcare more universal and more affordable.”</p>

<p>“Tom Perriello is exactly the kind of leader this moment demands,” said Mayor Reed in a release. “He has the experience, the courage, and the progressive values to fight for every family in this district. The people of the Shenandoah Valley, of Charlottesville, of Lynchburg, of Harrisonburg deserve a representative who will show up for them every single day. Tom has been doing that his entire career, and I am proud to stand with him.”</p>

<h4>Harrisonburg Mayor Deanna Reed endorses Tom Perriello for Congress</h4>

<p><strong>Every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential.</strong> It is essential for us to invest in quality schools and quality teachers, expanding beyond the K-12 years to fit the realities of the modern economy. We should build a free, hassle-free P-14 system: affordable quality childcare, universal pre-K, world class public schools and two debt-free years of public community college, trade school, or apprenticeship for every kid, regardless of zip code or family income. covering at least one year of pre-k and two years of career certification, community college or university education.</p>

<p>Perriello, a Charlottesville native, also raised more than triple the amount brought in by his challenger for the Democratic nomination, Albemarle County Board of Supervisors member Mike Pruitt.</p>

<h4>Tom Perriello outpaced John McGuire in fundraising to close out 2025</h4>

<p>The initial results:</p><p>Undecided/don’t know 35.38%<br>Perriello 34.38%<br>Rasoul 15.47%<br>Macy 12.59%<br>Someone else 2.19%</p><p>The second thing we see is that, among the candidates, Perriello is the frontrunner. This isn’t surprising to me.</p>

<h4>Poll: Perriello has wide lead over Macy in potential Democratic primary in redrawn 6th District</h4>

<p>“I am fired up to keep fighting for my hometown and the region that I love to get our voice back in Congress. Folks across the Blue Ridge and the Valley know that I have been fighting for decades to increase wages and access to affordable health care for families....District lines may shift, but my values and commitments to working families across Virginia never will.”</p>
