FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following Elaine Luria’s critical win flipping Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement celebrating her victory:

“EMILYs List proudly congratulates Elaine Luria on flipping Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, a critical pickup in the fight for the U.S. House majority. A 20-year Navy veteran who has spent her career serving Hampton Roads, Elaine ran on a clear message: lower costs, fight corruption, and put working families ahead of powerful special interests. She will fight to protect Social Security and Medicare, strengthen support for military families and veterans, and protect the Chesapeake Bay. EMILYs List is proud to stand with Elaine as she returns to Congress ready to take on Washington’s culture of corruption and deliver for coastal Virginia.”

EMILYs List’s Mission Majority initiative put Democratic women at the center of an aggressive strategy to flip the U.S. House and reclaim the majority. EMILYs List led the effort to expand the battleground map, backing 26 Majority Makers in key competitive districts and tougher Republican-held terrain where strong women candidates could deliver the seats Democrats needed to win the House. We built that strategy by providing strategic guidance, critical resources, and targeted fundraising and communications support to help candidates compete and win.
