Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA), who is widely viewed as being one the most vulnerable House Democrats this year, announced a strong fundraising quarter over the weekend, bringing in over $600,000 and having $1.4 million in cash on hand.
Perriello’s district voted 51%-48% for John McCain in 2008, while Perriello narrowly unseated incumbent Republican Rep. Virgil Goode by margin of just 727 votes out of over 315,000 cast. There is currently a crowded Republican primary to face Perriello.
Meanwhile, Politico reports that unlike other House members in vulnerable seats, who are lying low after voting for the health care bill, Perriello has been actively campaigning in the district, meeting with voters and discussing how it will affect them.
