弗吉尼亚州竞争激烈的第二国会选区将于11月迎来一场重赛。
据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预测，前民主党国会众议员伊莱恩·卢里亚在周二的初选中胜出，将在大选中对阵共和党众议员詹·基格斯。卢里亚击败另外三名候选人赢得党内提名。
曾担任该选区两任期议员的卢里亚，2022年因选区重新划分后对共和党更有利，而输给了基格斯。
这个以军事设施为主的选区涵盖弗吉尼亚东海岸和弗吉尼亚海滩，自2008年以来已四次易主。2021年，该选区支持共和党人格伦·杨金竞选州长，四年后则支持民主党州长候选人阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格。该选区2020年投票支持前总统乔·拜登，2024年则支持特朗普总统。
民主党今年早些时候试图重新划分该州国会选区，以期除一个选区外其余选区都更有利于己方，但经选民批准的该方案被州最高法院驳回，旧的选区边界得以保留。
弗吉尼亚大学政治中心将这场竞选评级为“势均力敌”。
现年68岁的卢里亚是拥有20年军龄的海军老兵，2018年首次当选国会议员。她属于一批拥有国家安全背景的民主党女性议员群体，帮助民主党在共和党执掌众议院八年后重新夺回控制权。

基格斯同样是海军老兵，曾担任直升机飞行员长达十年。
Virginia’s key 2nd District to host rematch between incumbent GOP Rep. Jennifer Kiggans and Democrat Elaine Luria

Virginia’s highly competitive 2nd Congressional District will see a rematch in November.
Former Democratic congresswoman Elaine Luria won her party’s primary on Tuesday, CBS News projects, and will face GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans in the general election. Luria beat three other candidates to win the nomination.
Luria, who held the seat for two terms, lost to Kiggans in 2022 after redistricting made the area more favorable to Republicans.
The military-heavy district — which includes Virginia’s Eastern Shore and Virginia Beach — has flipped parties four times since 2008. In 2021, it voted for Republican Glenn Youngkin for governor, then supported Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger four years later. The district voted for former President Joe Biden in 2020 but for President Trump in 2024.
Democrats tried earlier this year to redraw the state’s congressional districts to be more friendly to their party in all but one district, but the voter-approved measure was struck down by the state Supreme Court, leaving the old district boundaries in place.
The University of Virginia’s Center for Politics rates the race a toss-up.
Luria, 20-year Navy veteran, was first elected to Congress in 2018. She was part of a group of Democratic women with national security backgrounds who helped their party win back control of the House after eight years of a Republican majority.

Kiggans is also a Navy veteran, serving as a helicopter pilot for a decade.
