Tom Perriello

We are proud to endorse Tom Perriello for U.S. Congress in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District.

“Tom Perriello spent his career working on the front lines of trying to end some of the world’s hardest conflicts. As veterans, we know the real cost of a failed foreign policy, of gutting the state department, and we need leaders in Congress who understand that cost before sending someone else’s kid into harm’s way. Tom gets it. He’s the kind of leader Common Defense veterans are proud to stand behind.” — Naveed Shah, U.S. Army veteran and Political Director at Common Defense

“The veterans and service members of Common Defense are patriots with the courage to call out extremists and enemies of democracy, even at home. I appreciate their willingness to look out for our veterans and our Constitution, calling out this Administration and Congress for efforts to privatize veterans’ healthcare, for the unforgivable disrespect shown to members of our military who have served honorably, and for starting another costly forever war. I am honored to have the endorsement of Common Defense and promise to honor their call for a more perfect union during my time in Congress.” — Rep. Tom Perriello
