So far, nine are trying to get to the House of Representatives in multiple districts. Robert Sarvis, who ran for governor last year, will try for Mark Warner's seat. He received around 6.5% of the vote last year, the highest for a third party candidate since 1970. We spoke with Will Hammer, a Staunton resident, who is running for Goodlatte's seat in November. He told us why he thinks his party is catching on the in state.

"I think the people are just getting fed up with the two-party system, people are looking for alternatives, and don't feel like they fit into the cookie-cutter parties."
