Washington, D.C. — Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the election result in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District:
“Congresswoman Elaine Luria is a patriot, whose determination to defend our Democracy has earned the respect of her colleagues and so many across the country.
“After two decades of distinguished leadership in the United States Navy, she again stepped forward to serve her nation in the House of Representatives. Her military expertise has been an invaluable asset to our Caucus and the Congress: from the Armed Services Committee, where she served as Vice Chair, to the Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security Committees. In the wake of the staggering January 6th attack, she inspired all freedom-loving Americans with her principled, bipartisan and unifying work to protect our precious Democracy on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack.
“While Congresswoman Luria will be sorely missed by her colleagues in the Congress, we aredeeply grateful for her distinguished service to our nation. On behalf of House Democrats, we wish her, her husband Robert and her daughter Violette the best in their next chapter.”

We need people like her in leadership. Virginia made a glaring mistake in rejecting her.
