VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Today, former President Barack Obama announced his support for Congresswoman Elaine Luria’s re-election in his first wave of endorsements.
“I’m proud to endorse this diverse and hopeful collection of thoughtful, empathetic, and highly qualified Democrats. Together, these candidates will help us redeem our country’s promise by sticking up for working class people, restoring fairness and opportunity to our system, and fighting for the good of all Americans — not just those at the top.” President Obama stated. “They make me optimistic not just about our party’s chances in November, but about our country’s future long after that. So if you’re in one of their districts or states, make sure you vote for them this fall. And if you can, vote early — by mail or in person.”
“I’m proud to have once again earned President Obama’s endorsement. On November 3rd, Americans will vote in one of the most critical elections of our lifetime. I remain committed to Coastal Virginians and the issues most important to our district including expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare, taking care of our servicemembers, veterans and their families, and rebuilding our economy by empowering small businesses.” Congresswoman Luria stated.
