Why national eyes are officially locking onto VA-05 as the fall campaign begins.
Team,
As we step into September and launch our fall campaign sprint, the momentum building across Virginia's 5th Congressional District is impossible to ignore. Former Congressman Tom Perriello’s recent addition to the DCCC’s "Red to Blue" program confirms what we see on the ground every day: this race is a top national toss-up.
Tom is building a campaign rooted in everyday priorities. He is spending his time meeting directly with local families across the Piedmont and Blue Ridge to talk about lowering healthcare costs, supporting public school educators, and expanding economic opportunity.
This race against Republican incumbent John McGuire is officially in play. National Super PACs are dumping cash into local airwaves to protect McGuire, but slick TV ads will never match authentic, community-driven conversations. Flipping VA-05 is central to taking back the U.S. House majority and protecting working families across our Commonwealth.
National designations are a welcome vote of confidence, but titles don't knock on doors; local organizers do. Your support will help us strengthen our infrastructure, better support candidates like Tom, and protect every single vote.
