Virginia voters will approve a map that gives Democrats the chance to net as many as four US House seats, CNN's Decision Desk projects, in a major boost to the party's effort to flip the House. https://cnn.it/4w1wU6P

Tom Perriello is running for the 6th district in Virginia this cycle.

Lowkell’s blog Blue Virginia has a statement by him:

Perriello Officially Running for Congress in Virginia’s New Sixth District

Perriello Emerges as Early Frontrunner to Flip the Blue Ridge District

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — With Virginia voting to approve new Congressional district maps, Tom Perriello is now officially running to represent the new Sixth Congressional District. This district of Blue Ridge communities stretches from Charlottesville and Lynchburg through the Shenandoah, Roanoke and New River Valleys.

“Folks around here can agree on one thing – we are paying way too much for gas, groceries and healthcare. It’s time to fire Congressmen like Ben Cline who jacked up costs to protect the corrupt,” said Perriello. “I’ve held hundreds of listening sessions across the Blue Ridge, and families deserve a representative who will fight to get costs down, paychecks up, and common sense back in the driver’s seat.”

Perriello enters the race as the clear frontrunner, according to early polling, fundraising, local and statewide endorsements, and a formidable early grassroots campaign. Since announcing in December, he has held over 200 community listening sessions in every county of the new district. He has sat down with farmers, healthcare workers, small business owners, veterans, students, educators, and faith leaders from Charlottesville to Harrisonburg, Roanoke to Blacksburg, Staunton to Waynesboro, and everywhere in between.

“I’ve spent my career fighting corruption, at home and overseas, because the powerful should have to play by the same rules as the rest of us,” said Perriello. “I promise to fight for our communities to have good schools, affordable healthcare and housing, and a voice in shaping what happens in Washington. It’s time to build a new American dream that our communities can afford.”
