RELEASE: Elaine Luria Releases Firs Ad “Ready,” Highlighting Commitment to Fighting Corruption and Taking on Rising Costs for Working Families
“I spent 20 years in the Navy serving on combatant ships and deploying 6 times to the Middle East and Western Pacific before opening a small business and fighting for and delivering for Virginians in Congress. Hampton Roads needs a fighter who is ready to take on Jen Kiggans and the most corrupt administration in history who are raising prices on working families in Virginia while giving tax breaks to their billionaire donors,” Rep. Luria said. “Virginians want more affordability and less corruption from Washington. I’m ready to serve and deliver for the people of Hampton Roads who are being left behind by corrupt politicians like Jen Kiggans and Donald Trump.”
In addition to being added to the DCCC’s Red to Blue list, Rep. Luria has secured key endorsements from Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Sen. Tim Kaine, Sen. Mark Warner, Rep. Bobby Scott, Rep. James Walkinshaw, Rep. Jennifer McClellan, Rep. Eugene Vindman, Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, Rep. Don Beyer, VoteVets, New Politics, 314 Action Fund, League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Brady PAC, EMILY’s List, DMFI, New Democrat Coalition Action Fund, and Elect Democratic Women.
Jen Kiggans has established a pattern of promising Virginians one thing in public, only to turn around and vote the other way in Washington. Kiggans lied when she promised to protect access to health care, only to turn around and vote for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Kiggans lied when she said she would extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, but then voted to allow health care premiums to skyrocket. Kiggans lied again when she promised to protect clean energy tax credits, but then “flip-flopped” and voted to take a “sledgehammer” to the credits instead.
Kiggans has voted 100% of the time with Donald Trump – demonstrating that she puts her D.C. party bosses ahead of the Virginians she claims to represent. Kiggans was a major proponent of DOGE even as the agency wrecked Virginia’s economy and hurt veterans. Local media reported that “Kiggans embraced the program from the outset” and even said DOGE was “so necessary.” It has been reported that Kiggans’ backing of DOGE led to “the termination of more than $8.3 million in grants and leases tied to the district, including funding streams connected to veterans services and facilities.”
