Our 2023, “Common Power Supported Candidate of the Day” features Senator Aaron Rouse (D) for Virginia’s District 22. Rouse was born and raised in Virginia Beach where he earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He was then drafted by the Green Bay Packers and also played for the New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals. After retiring from the NFL, Rouse returned home to Virginia Beach to begin his career in public service where he currently resides with his wife, Virginia Beach Councilwoman Jennifer Valentine-Rouse and family.
Aaron was first elected to Virginia's 7th District in a special election last year and won the race by only 696 votes, flipping the 7th Senate District from a Republican to a Democratic seat. The margin of victory in these races is often very tight, which is why we need your engagement in the field and on the phones every year.
Every 10 years, Virginia updates its legislative district boundaries which means Senator Rouse will be running in the newly formed District 22 this fall. This new district makes up about 70% of the old District 7 that he currently represents.
Rouse has committed to continue focusing on the economy, healthcare, and education as his political platform and we are looking forward to heading into the field in support of his candidacy this month!
