Elaine G. Luria
Background
- Represented Virginia's 2nd district for two terms, in the 116th and 117th Congresses, from January 3, 2019 to January 3, 2023. She sponsored 45 bills and resolutions plus two floor amendments and cosponsored 1,002 measures, and six of the bills she sponsored became law.
- Her campaign plan, read in the Internet Archive's snapshot of August 3, 2026 because her campaign site refuses automated readers, says she joined the Navy at 17 and spent 20 years on combatant ships.
- The same page says that after the Navy she started and grew a small business in Hampton Roads.
What they say they want to do
- Ban members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks while in office, the first item on her plan.
- Repeal the tariffs and reverse the decisions she says raised energy costs.
- Reinstate the Affordable Care Act tax credits, cut prescription drug prices, and fund Medicaid and Medicare.
- Strengthen Medicare and Social Security and oppose cuts to them.
- Fight offshore drilling and restore the Chesapeake Bay.
What the official record shows
- H.R. 1200, the first of four Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Acts she sponsored, became Public Law 116-58. Two more became law, on October 20, 2020 and October 10, 2022; the fourth, H.R. 3909 of 2021, went no further than a subcommittee.
- The House agreed 231 to 192 to her amendment to H.R. 3, clarifying that federal employee health plans are covered by the bill's price reduction provisions; that bill did not become law.
- H.R. 1620, the Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization Act she sponsored, passed the House by voice vote. It proposed $455 million across fiscal 2021–2025. The same authorization levels became law in Public Law 116-188 on October 30, 2020; the standalone bill did not become law.
- She voted Yea on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 5376, agreed to 220 to 207; it became Public Law 117-169 four days later.

Itemized receipts from political committees in this committee's 2025-2026 cycle filings, grouped by the FEC's recorded organization type or designation of the contributing committee, and read at the commission on September 13, 2026. The nine rows sum to $405,663.08, which is the FEC summary's other-committee contributions of $405,442.31 plus its party-committee contributions of $220.77. No row appears for corporation-connected PACs, because the filings itemize no contribution from a committee the FEC records with that organization type. Every figure here is a sum of the filings' own itemized rows, not the matching line on the FEC's summary of the cycle, and the two can differ by whatever the filings did not itemize. Not in the table: contributions from individuals, transfers from joint fundraising committees, and the memo entries, which restate money the report already counts elsewhere and would be counted twice if they were added.
