Suzanne K. "Dr. K" Krzyzanowski

Krzyzanowski, a family physician in Lynchburg, said on her campaign websitethat her job "has been not only to keep people healthy, but to be a practical problem solver."

"Dr. K" said she is motivated to run for Congress because she feels she and her patients are increasingly battling the whole health care system to get treatment she knows they need.

Tom Perriello

Perriello is the last Democrat to represent the 5th Congressional District, having served one term from 2009 until 2011. A supporter of the creation of the Affordable Care Act, he was defeated by former state Sen. Robert Hurt in 2010.

More recently, he was the United States Special Envoy for Sudan under former President Joe Biden. In his launch video, Perriello said that things are out of control because of Republicans in Washington and that he's running because it's an "all hands on deck" moment.

He told VPM News that voters "deserve a representative who is going to listen to them and fight for their priorities, instead of trying to just focus on the priorities of the President or other people."
