民主党于周二重新提名前众议员伊莱恩·卢里亚，她曾代表汉普顿锚地区和弗吉尼亚东海岸地区，将与现任共和党籍联邦众议员、弗吉尼亚海滩市的詹妮弗·基根斯展开重赛。
卢里亚是一名退役海军指挥官，曾在2019年至2023年担任两届国会议员，她凭借最高的知名度和弗吉尼亚州大部分民主党建制派的支持参选。
该选区从马里兰州边境的纽丘奇延伸，穿过切萨皮克湾隧道连接至弗吉尼亚海滩，是弗吉尼亚州多个民主党试图重划的选区之一，目的是将该州国会代表团的席位优势从民主党6比5转变为10比1。

该计划因保守派在法庭上成功挑战重划选区方案而失败，给州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格及其政党带来了重大且代价高昂的失败。
卢里亚在初选中击败了苏迪普塔·“尼拉”·德文纳特医生、商人比尔·弗莱明和前美国国际开发署职员帕特里克·莫尔索夫获得提名。

莫尔索夫曾供职的机构被特朗普政府大幅削减经费，他将通胀和弗吉尼亚州民众面临的其他压力归咎于该政府。
德文纳特是诺福克的一名医生，在初选中以进步派路线参选，承诺支持“全民医保”、带薪家庭休假、堕胎保护等左翼优先议题。

他的竞选网站将加强地方经济、扩大医疗保健可及性以及推行“务实的”移民改革列为核心议题。
该选区预计将成为今年秋季弗吉尼亚州竞争最激烈的国会选区之一，也是两党争夺众议院控制权的核心目标选区之一。

The retired Naval commander defeated three challengers after Democrats’ redistricting plan failed in court

Virginia Supreme Court strikes down Democrats’ redistricting map
Former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares explains why the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Democratic redistricting map was a “win for the rule of law.” Miyares notes the proposed map would have drastically shifted power for Democrats, citing the court’s emphasis on adhering to the state’s constitutional amendment process.

Democrats renominated former Rep. Elaine Luria, who represented Hampton Roads and Virginia’s Eastern Shore, on Tuesday to face incumbent Republican Rep. Jennifer Kiggans of Virginia Beach in a rematch.
Luria, a retired Naval commander who served two terms from 2019 to 2023, entered the race with the highest name recognition and the backing of much of Virginia’s Democratic establishment.
The district, stretching from New Church on Maryland’s border, through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to Virginia Beach, was one of several in Virginia that Democrats sought to redraw to shift the state’s congressional delegation from a 6-5 Democratic edge to a 10-1 advantage.

That plan failed when conservatives successfully challenged the redistricting in court, handing Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her party a major and financially costly loss.
Luria had challenged Dr. Sudipta “Nila” Devanath, businessman Bill Fleming and former USAID staffer Patrick Mosolf for the nomination.

Mosolf’s former agency was gutted by the Trump administration, which he blames for inflation and other pressures on Virginians.
Devanath, a Norfolk physician, is running in the progressive lane in the primary, pledging to support “universal healthcare,” paid family leave, abortion protections and other left-wing priorities.

The district is expected to host one of Virginia’s closest congressional races this fall and remains a top target for both national parties as they battle for House control.
