VA-02: Spanberger endorses Elaine Luria in her House comeback bid

Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger is endorsing her former House colleague Elaine Luria’s comeback bid in the latest effort by Democrats to clear the primary in a highly targeted purple district.

“I am excited to support Elaine Luria’s campaign for Congress, because Virginians deserve a dedicated public servant who is focused on delivering for the people of Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore,” Spanberger said in a statement.

Both women flipped GOP-held seats in the 2018 midterms and became part of a bloc of incoming House Democrats with national security backgrounds.

“Since our first campaign together when we made history in 2018, Governor-elect Spanberger and I have worked closely together to lower prices, cut health care costs, and invest in Virginia. I look forward to continuing our work together to lower costs for working families and deliver for the people of Hampton Roads,” Luria said.
