  Tom Perriello on reclaiming Virginia's 5th District seat

  Sep 24, 20261h 4m

  It has been nearly two decades since a massive upset first put Tom Perriello on the political map. In 2008, the young Democrat ousted a six-term congressman in Virginia’s heavily republican 5th district. But Perriello ended up serving only one term before losing his re-election campaign. Now he’s back and trying to reclaim his old seat. On the latest episode of 'Untold - A WTVR Podcast,' Perriello tells Catie Beck why he thinks history can repeat itself, and why he believes this conservative part of the commonwealth is ready for a change.
