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 {{ushr|VA|2}}. 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 her entire career on combat 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, Alabama, 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 Birmingham's Indian Springs School in 1993.[5][6][7] 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.[8] 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.[9]

Military service

Luria served as a United States Navy officer for 20 years, operating nuclear reactors as an engineer,[10] reaching the rank of Commander. She was the first female American sailor to spend her entire career on combat ships.[11]

She served first aboard the 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 the USS Harry 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 the USS Mason, a destroyer, and USS Enterprise, an 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 the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, a 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.[24][12]
