Just days after Virgil Goode announced he won’t be running for his former seat, Fifth District Congressman Tom Perriello is making the move.
While meeting constituents in Martinsville, Perriello said he will run for re-election in 2010.
At the meeting, Perriello discussed the health care bill and said that Congress may be close to reaching a compromise, but as to the likelihood of the bill passing, “A coin toss or maybe a little better,” he said.
Last November, Perriello, a Democrat, defeated Goode by 727 votes.
