CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (Rocktown Now) — 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 in a release. “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.”

The Virginia Supreme Court is expected to examine the constitutionality of the amendment proposal.
