Elaine Goodman Luria (born August 15, 1975) is an American politician, U.S. Navy veteran, and member of the Democratic Party who is the U.S. Representative for Virginia's 2nd congressional district. The district includes most of the heart of Hampton Roads, including all of Virginia Beach and Williamsburg and large portions of Norfolk and Hampton, as well as the Eastern Shore. Prior to being elected to Congress, Luria served as a United States Navy officer for 20 years, spending the majority of her career deployed on navy ships and reaching the rank of Commander.

Early life and education

Luria was born in Birmingham, Alabama.[1][2] Her mother Michelle's family immigrated to Jasper, Alabama, in 1906.[3][4] The family worked selling goods to coal miners in Walker County, Alabama.[3] Her great-grandfather helped found a Reform Jewish congregation in Jasper, and the family in time joined Temple Emanu-El in Birmingham, where Luria was raised.[3] Her mother and grandmother were very active in the National Council of Jewish Women (of which her mother was President), Hadassah, the Temple Emanu-El Sisterhood, and the Birmingham Jewish Federation.[3] Luria is active in Ohef Sholom in Norfolk.[4] Both of her grandfathers served in the Navy.[4]

She graduated from metropolitan Birmingham's Indian Springs School in 1993.[2][5] Luria then graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1997, with a degree in physics and history, and a minor in French.[4] In 2000, she attended the United States Naval Nuclear Power School in Goose Creek, South Carolina.[6] While in the U.S. Navy and stationed aboard the flagship USS Blue Ridge, Luria earned a master's degree in engineering management from Old Dominion University in 2004.[7]

Military service

Luria served as a United States Navy officer for 20 years, operating nuclear reactors as an engineer,[8] reaching the rank of commander. She was the first female American sailor to spend her entire career on combat ships.[9]

She served first aboard USS O'Brien, a forward deployed destroyer that was sent to the Middle East.[4] Luria was in charge of Tomahawk strike missiles, and managed a division of 15 people.[4] She then became Reactor Controls Division Officer on USS Harry S. Truman, an aircraft carrier, deploying again to the Middle East.[4] Luria then as a lieutenant became Flag Aide to the commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet.[4] She was then deployed on USS Mason, a destroyer, and USS Enterprise, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and then was an executive officer of the guided missile cruiser USS Anzio.[4] She became maintenance coordinator of the United States Atlantic Fleet, overseeing USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, another nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.[4] She then commanded Assault Craft Unit TWO, a combat-ready unit of 400 sailors, from 2014 until her retirement in 2017.[10][11] (She held a Passover seder on an aircraft carrier shortly after 9/11).[12]

Luria's service was the longest active-duty tenure of any current members of the House Democratic Caucus.[13]

United States House of Representatives

Elections

Main article: 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia § District 2

In the 2018 elections, Luria ran for the United States House of Representatives in Virginia's 2nd congressional district.[14] In the June 10 Democratic primary, Luria received 62% of the vote, defeating Karen Mallard, who received 38%.[15]

In the November 6, 2018, election, she defeated Republican incumbent Scott Taylor, winning 51.1% of the vote.[16] Luria carried six of the district's nine county-level jurisdictions, including all but one of the district's five independent cities. She also carried Taylor's hometown of Virginia Beach.[17]

Tenure

Luria was sworn in on January 3, 2019.[18] She was one of 102 female members elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2018, a record number.[18] Among them were two other female veterans, fellow naval officer Mikie Sherrill and Air Force officer Chrissy Houlahan.

Domestic policy

While the federal government was in a partial shutdown, she asked for her salary to be withheld until federal workers were paid in January 2019.[18] She participated in a bipartisan group of Representatives seeking to broker a compromise to end the shutdown.[19][20]

In February 2019, Luria introduced the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2019, which increased the cost of living adjustments (COLAs) made to veterans.[21] It garnered bipartisan support and passed in September 2019.[13]

Foreign policy

In October 2019, Luria partook in a bipartisan congressional delegation to Afghanistan, Jordan, and Qatar. The delegation visited American active-duty military personnel and diplomats posted there as well as the aforementioned countries' leadership.[22]

Immigration

In October 2019, Luria co-sponsored the NO BAN Act, introduced by progressive Democrat Judy Chu (CA–27th),[23] which seeks to limit the president's authority to control external migration.[24] The president currently has unilateral authority to limit external travel—specifically, executive control pertains to Aliens—not American citizens or nationals—entering the United States; Chu's legislation would allow Congress to decide whether the Department of State (DOS) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), under the president's superintendence, meet the proposed NO BAN Act's established rationale for border closure.[24] It mandates that border closures—initiated through the president's direction under the DOS and DHS operational structure—must adhere to more liberalized standards: "Only issue a restriction when required to address a compelling government interest, and narrowly tailor the suspension to use the least restrictive means to achieve such an interest."[24] The NO BAN Act stipulates that Congress must concur with the administration's rational within 48 hours of its imposition, or the established restriction becomes void.[24] It also provides judicial recourse for "individuals or entities"—primarily, aimed at Aliens as well as aligned advocacy groups present in the United States—to sue for damages imposed by the administration's travel restrictions.[24] According to an editorial in the Washington Examiner, Democrats continued their push for more liberalized immigration statutes while the administration was imposing travel restrictions—during the coronavirus pandemic—on China and Europe to stem the virus' spread into the United States.[25] In March 2020, progressive Democrat Jared Huffman (CA–2nd), a co-sponsor and leading proponent of the NO BAN Act, was focused on passing it to circumvent Donald Trump's Executive Order 13780, which limits external migration from 13 countries.[26]

Committee assignments

Caucus memberships

Political positions

Luria is considered part of a group of "security Democrats" who called for an impeachment inquiry on Donald Trump in a public op-ed on September 23, 2019.[32] In a town hall meeting, Luria stated she believed President Trump had "enlist[ed] the help of a foreign leader to influence and malign a potential political opponent to affect the outcome of our next election all under guise of trying to fight corruption."[33]

Luria favors universal background checks on gun buyers.[34]

Luria opposes efforts to repeal or dismantle the Affordable Care Act.[35]

Luria accepts the scientific consensus on climate change. She is concerned that climate change impacts are harming military readiness and increasing global instability. She also believes attempts by the Trump administration to discredit military experts on the impact of climate change are undermining US national security. Luria supports 100% renewable energy production and has cosponsored the "Climate Action Now Act".

There is no doubt climate change is a national security threat. In Coastal Virginia, for example, a heavy rain and a high tide prevents tens of thousands of sailors from accessing Naval Station Norfolk.
