Luria Raises Biggest Fundraising Quarter Ever with More Than $1.85 Million

Luria’s re-election campaign ends Q2 with $4.3 million cash on hand

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Today, Congresswoman Elaine Luria announced her biggest fundraising quarter to date, raising more than $1.85 million in the second quarter of 2022 and far exceeding previous campaign records.

With this record-breaking haul, Congresswoman Luria’s re-election campaign will end the second quarter with more than $4.3 million cash on hand going into the November election for Virginia’s Second Congressional District.

Congresswoman Luria’s campaign continues to be fueled by grassroots support, with 8,506 individual donors and 80% of donors giving $50 or less.

“Our campaign was carried to victory with grassroots support in 2018, and we will continue to be fueled by grassroots supporters,” Congresswoman Luria said. “I remain committed to delivering for Hampton Roads and putting Coastal Virginians over politics.”

On Sunday, Congresswoman Luria welcomed Majority Whip James E. Clyburn to Coastal Virginia to greet voters, community leaders, supporters, and local elected officials in Suffolk and Chesapeake.

Last week, Congresswoman Luria released her first television ad of the 2022 cycle titled “Oath.” The one-minute ad highlights the oath that Congresswoman Luria took at 17 years old to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and how she continues to live up to that oath in Congress.

Congresswoman Elaine Luria represents Virginia’s Second Congressional District, which includes all of Accomack and Northampton Counties, the cities of Virginia Beach and Williamsburg, as well as portions of Norfolk City, Hampton, and York and James City Counties. The new district lines will include all of Accomack, Isle of Wight, and Northampton Counties, the cities of Franklin, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach, as well as portions of Chesapeake and Southampton Counties. Congresswoman Luria serves as the Vice Chair on the House Armed Services Committee as well as on the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee and Readiness Subcommittee, the House Veterans Affairs Committee where she is the Chair of the Disability and Memorial Assistance Subcommittee, and the House Committee on Homeland Security.
