Tom Perriello is the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, having been officially annointed at the 5th District caucus over Memorial Day weekend. He joined Coy Barefoot on the May 27, 2008 edition of WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now with Coy Barefoot” to talk about why he’s running, his work in Afghanistan, and how he sees his quest to break into politics as an extension of his drive for community service.
Perriello’s opponent is incumbent Virgil Goode (R).
