Former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor used his campaign announcement as an opportunity to discredit Elaine's 20 years of Navy service for defending our Constitution and holding Donald Trump accountable:
"These girls that have national security backgrounds, they came out before there was any bit of evidence" -- Scott Taylor
But Elaine didn't let him get to her:
"Yes, I am a girl. I may wear heels now, but I wore steel toed boots for 20 years in the Navy. It's 2020- girls can do anything." -- Elaine Luria
A sexist remark like this is a reminder of why Coastal Virginians voted Scott Taylor out of office in 2018. Chip in to support Elaine's campaign and keep VA-02 blue →
Voters elected Elaine because of her experience as a Navy Commander of a combat-ready unit of 400 sailors, mother, and small business owner. We trust that Elaine knows what she's doing when it comes to fighting for working families and protecting our national security in Congress.
Let's show Scott Taylor and national Republicans that we want this "girl" representing us in Congress. Can you chip in to help Elaine reach her $10,000 fundraising goal in the next 24 hours?

Republican Scott Taylor proved on day one of his rematch against Elaine that his priorities haven't changed: He's ready to defend Donald Trump's actions at any cost, accusing Elaine of "disgracefully using [her] military background" to justify impeachment.
But not even the President is above the law. Elaine held Trump accountable because it was the right thing to do -- and she's spent the past year in Congress passing legislation to lower prescription drug prices, enact common sense gun reforms, and ensure military families get the benefits they've earned.
National Republican groups spent more than $500,000 attacking Elaine last year -- and that was before Taylor jumped into the race. We need your help to fight back and keep Elaine fighting for Coastal Virginia in Congress. Will you chip in to help reach her $10,000 goal in the next 24 hours?
