In 1994 and 1996, Mr. Landrith was the Republican candidate for the United States House of Representatives from Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District. In 1994, he lost narrowly to then-incumbent L.F. Payne (D-Va). Election analyst and pundit Larry Sabato described both candidates as follows: "Payne lacks the charisma that Landrith exudes on television and in debates." [Roanoke Times & World News, 31 October, 1994, "House Race Eclipsed by Senate" by Richard Foster, pg. C1]

In 1996, Payne retired from Congress and conservative Virginia State Senator Virgil Goode ran as the Democrat candidate. Goode’s State Senate district was largely coextensive with the congressional district which helped him win the 1996 election. In 2000, Goode withdrew from the Democrat party and became an Independent who caucused with the Republicans. In 2002, Goode officially became a Republican.
