Spanberger: “The Second District Is Sending a True Champion Back to Capitol Hill”

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. — Governor Abigail Spanberger released the following statement after Elaine Luria secured victory in Virginia’s Second District.

“Elaine Luria has a demonstrated record of delivering for Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore. She has shown that she knows how to cut through chaos in Washington and get things done. Now — as reckless decisions are causing Virginians to feel the squeeze of rising costs at the grocery store, on their health insurance premiums, and at the pump — Elaine is ready to get to work again.

“As her prior record of service in Congress shows, Elaine worked to bring down healthcare and prescription drug costs, bring new investments to Virginia’s Second District, and bring stronger leadership to Washington. A 20-year Navy veteran, Elaine focused on delivering for our veterans and their families — passing the largest expansion of VA benefits for Virginians in more than 30 years.

“The Second District is sending a true champion back to Capitol Hill who will get to work on day one to stand up to the chaos that is hurting Virginia families. Elaine will always put the people of Coastal Virginia first.”
