  "account": "Democrat Elaine Luria secured a victory on Tuesday in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, by defeating her Republican counterpart, Jen Kiggans. Luria had previously served two terms in the House before her 2022 loss to Kiggans. During her tenure in Congress, she was part of the committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Prior to her initial term in the House, Luria had a distinguished two-decade career in the Navy, eventually reaching the rank of commander. Kiggans, also a Navy veteran, served two terms in the House. The Associated Press confirmed Luria as the winner at 11:47 p.m. EST.",
