NORPAC Hosts Reps. Elaine Luria (D-VA) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) in Teaneck

(Courtesy of NORPAC) Dr. Laurie Baumel hosted a NORPAC event for Congresswoman Elaine Luria (D-VA), with special guest Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), at her home in Teaneck.

Luria is a Jewish U.S. Navy veteran who served for 20 years as a surface warfare officer and nuclear engineer. She is currently serving her first year as a member of Congress in a district which encompasses the cities of Virginia Beach and Williamsburg, and parts of the cities of Norfolk and Hampton.

Luria was one of several Jewish Democrats who took to the House floor to condemn anti-Semitism earlier this year after remarks by Rep. Ilhan Omar came out which accused members of Congress of a “dual loyalty” to the State of Israel.

Dozens of members from the Teaneck and Bergenfield Jewish community came to hear the freshman Congresswoman’s perspective on U.S.-Israel relations and combating anti-Semitism. She was joined by Bergen County’s own Congressman Josh Gottheimer, who came to promote Luria’s campaign.

Congresswoman Elaine Luria will be up for re-election next November.
