Former 5th District Congressman Tom
Perriello says he is not running for Governor of Virginia.
Perriello released a statement today
on Twitter saying he won't be on the ballot in 2013, but he will be in the
fight. His statement goes further to say that he does not feel that call to
serve in elected office right now.
Perriello
would have been running against Terry McAuliffe for the Democratic nomination,
who he is now backing.
Attorney
General Ken Cuccinelli is running for Virginia Governor from the Republican
side.
In his
statement, Perriello says that he believes Cuccinelli's beliefs would be
devastating to the Commonwealth.
