On November 28, 2012, The Huffington Post reported that Perriello was considering a run for Governor of Virginia in 2013. If he had pursued the bid, Perriello would have likely faced confirmed candidate Terry McAuliffe in the Democratic primary election. The following week, however, Perriello announced he was not going to compete against McAuliffe, whom he endorses for the Democratic nomination. The presumptive GOP nominee is attorney general Ken Cuccinelli.

2010

Perriello faced Republican Robert Hurt when he ran for re-election on November 2, 2010. Hurt won the race for the 5th district seat, with 50% of the vote over Perriello's 47.0%.
