U.S. Navy Veteran Rep. Elaine Luria Hauls in $500,000 in 24 Hours Since Launching Campaign
Luria’s massive fundraising cements her frontrunner status and demonstrates major momentum to unseat vulnerable Republican Jen Kiggans
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Former small business owner, 20-year U.S. Navy veteran, and two-term member of Congress Rep. Elaine Luria announced raising more than $500,000 in the first 24 hours since launching her campaign for Virginia’s Second Congressional District.
“I’m incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support our campaign has received from hardworking Virginians who share our vision for a government that will put people above political parties and take action to lower rising costs,” Rep. Luria said. “It’s clear that Coastal Virginians are tired of a dysfunctional and chaotic Washington that is hurting working families, and they are ready to join our campaign to bring commonsense leadership for Hampton Roads back to the halls of Congress. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work to make life more affordable, grow our economy, cut health care costs, and strengthen our military.”
Showcasing the campaign’s momentum upon launch Virginia Senate President tempore Louise Lucas endorsed Congresswoman Luria yesterday and former VA-02 candidate and Marine Corps Veteran Mike Williamson dropped out of the race and endorsed her. More endorsements will be released in the coming days.
