Virginia's 2nd District to Witness Rematch Between GOP Rep. Kiggans and Democrat Luria

Virginia's 2nd Congressional District is set for a rematch between incumbent GOP Representative Jennifer Kiggans and former Democratic Congresswoman Elaine Luria. Luria, a 20-year Navy veteran, secured her party's nomination after defeating three other candidates. The district, known for its military presence, has a history of political shifts, having flipped parties four times since 2008. It supported Republican Glenn Youngkin for governor in 2021 and Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger four years later. The district also voted for President Trump in 2024 after supporting former President Joe Biden in 2020. The University of Virginia's Center for Politics rates the upcoming race as a toss-up.
