(The Center Square) -Virginia voters will head to the polls Tuesday to choose party nominees for U.S. Senate, congressional seats and local offices, with the commonwealth’s only congressional district featuring contested primaries in both parties helping shape the November ballot. Among those races, Virginia’s 5th Congressional District stands out as the only district where both Republicans and Democrats have contested primaries. The district has also drawn national attention after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added Virginia’s 5th District to its “Districts in Play” list in February. Perriello represented the 5th District from 2009 to 2011 after defeating longtime Republican Rep. Virgil Goode in 2008. Virginia’s 5th Congressional District includes much of Virginia’s Piedmont and Southside regions, including the cities of Charlottesville, Danville and Lynchburg.
