Summary
Elaine Luria won Virginia Democrats’ nomination Tuesday, setting up a rematch with Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans in the state’s competitive 2nd Congressional District.
Luria, a retired Navy commander who held the seat from 2019 to 2023, entered with the strongest name recognition and broad backing from the state Democratic establishment.
The coastal district had been central to Democrats’ failed redistricting push, which was struck down in court after a conservative challenge and preserved the current battleground map.
Virginia’s 2nd — stretching from the Eastern Shore to Virginia Beach — is expected to be one of the state’s closest House races and a top target in the fight for chamber control.
