Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Former Democrat Rep. Elaine Luria of Virginia announced she will try to regain her seat in her battleground district, compelled by the "chaos" in Washington.

Luria, a member of the House of Representatives' Jan. 6 committee, lost her seat to Republican Jen Kiggans in 2022.

The district runs down the coast of Virginia and includes Norfolk and Virginia Beach. President Donald Trump won the district by less than four points.

"Service to our country means putting the interests of the people above all else -- including political parties," she said. "That's why I cannot sit back and watch as Republicans in Congress create chaos while failing to address the rising cost of living and the issues that matter to Coastal Virginians."
