It's a day of dueling endorsements in the 5th District.
Democratic Congressman Tom Perriello has picked up support from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Political Action Committee.
Wednesday morning in Danville, he gathered with VFW members outside the Veterans Memorial at Dan Daniel Park.
"I think first and foremost, it's just important to continue fighting for veterans, but I do think that recent endorsements from the VFW and the NRA show that the other side's attempts to suggest I'm some sort of rubber stamp liberal are just ridiculous," said Perriello.
Meanwhile, Perriello's Republican challenger, Sen. Robert Hurt has received the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
A television ad the group begins airing Wednesday is already fueling controversy in the campaign.
We'll hear from both candidates later today on News7.
