VoteVets PAC Endorses Elaine Luria or Congress

Press Releases

“Virginians are hungry for change and Elaine Luria is the candidate best positioned to bring that change to the District she previously served so well and with honor.” 

Washington, DC. – Today, VoteVets PAC is announcing that it is endorsing Elaine Luria in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District. A mom, Navy Veteran, and former small business owner,  VoteVets endorsed Elaine when she first won this seat in 2018 and we were proud to be by her side during tenure in Congress when she always put her constituents and our country first. Now, Elaine is stepping up to serve again at a time when she’s needed most – as the candidate best positioned to flip this must win District as Democrats look to take back the House and put a check on the most anti-Veteran Administration in history. The following quote can be attributed to VoteVets Senior Advisor, Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton

“Virginians are hungry for change and Elaine Luria is the candidate best positioned to bring that change to the District she previously served so well and with honor. Time and again, Rep. Luria has proven to be an effective leader who always puts her country first. We saw her hard work in action when she was in Congress by being instrumental in passing the PACT Act, the largest expansion of Veteran health benefits in our lifetime. We are proud to be by her side again because we know she’s the only candidate who can win this race – a must win District as Democrats look to take back control of Congress and put a check on the most anti-Veteran Administration in history. We look forward to her winning this race and getting back to work for Hampton Roads to make life more affordable for working families, grow our economy, cut health care costs, and strengthen our military.”

Background:

Last cycle alone, VoteVets spent $50 million helping to elect VoteVets-endorsed candidates. Our investments proved to be effective in helping candidates get across the finish line  and we were able to see a success rate at a time when other Democrats were not as successful. Thanks in part to our investments, 143 VoteVets-endorsed candidates clinched victory amidst a global rightward lurch.
