Excited to join the Two Blue Cities Celebration hosted by Manassas Dems! We must take control of our statewide offices again—there’s no margin for error. Let’s fight and win this November!
Had an incredible time meeting so many passionate Virginians in Salem!
Let’s build a Virginia that works for all of us—a Virginia where our kids have the tools to succeed, where our families aren’t struggling to make ends meet & where every community has the chance to thrive.
I’m here not because of Strom Thurmond’s speech. I’m here in SPITE of his speech!
Amen, @corybooker.com!
It’s always special to be at the Virginia Beach International Indoor Cup! Watching youth from all walks of life come together, sharing their passion and skills—it's a reminder of how sports can bring us all together. Cheering you all on for a strong finish to the weekend! ⚽️
Today we hit a HUGE milestone in our campaign: We filed our petitions to get my name on the ballot in the race for Lt. Governor. It’s go time, Virginia! Let’s get to work. rouseforvirginia.com
I know firsthand what a few extra days can mean to a working family just trying to get by. This bill will help keep families safely in their homes, avoiding eviction. This isn’t a partisan issue — it’s about taking care of our neighbors and extending a little grace to those in need.
Virginia’s federal workforce — one of the largest in the nation — doesn’t owe Elon Musk a thing. His firings and threats of further layoffs will have tremendous impacts in Virginia and we have an obligation to stand up and say enough is enough. Nobody elected Elon Musk.

In an era of extreme partisanship, it's meaningful when Dems and Republicans can come together to pass legislation that will solve a real crisis faced by so many Virginians. Read the op-ed that Sen. Hackworth, @delegatecallsen.bsky.social, Del. Kilgore, and I wrote on the Save Local Pharmacies Act
Madam President: You are a hero to many and a force to be reckoned with. You wake up every day and fight for Virginians in every corner of the Commonwealth. I am proud to call you a friend and so lucky to be with you to celebrate your birthday! 🎂🎉
‘A life well lived’ would be an understatement to describe that of President Jimmy Carter. A humanitarian, a statesman, and most of all, a good man who lived to serve his community and country. Rest in peace, President Carter.
Merry Christmas! As we celebrate this special day, let’s remember the importance of coming together as a community to care for one another. Wishing you and your loved ones peace, joy, and a holiday season full of love and kindness. Let’s keep building a brighter future for all Virginians!
I cannot think of a worse time to be playing politics with their livelihoods. I remain hopeful this will be resolved swiftly.
With a government shutdown looming, federal workers and military in VA face uncertainty about their next paychecks. These dedicated individuals support our communities and protect our nation, and with the holidays around the corner...
It has always been important to me to uplift and encourage the youth. Public education: educators, staff, coaches, and my mother were all part of the village that raised me – Together. Giving back to move forward!
The @ppava.bsky.social team is hard at work this December to elect Kannan Srinivasan and JJ Singh. We've spent the last few Decembers doing the same—and it's always worth it to help great leaders win! Shout out to @candimundonking.bsky.social (21), Del. Glass (22) & @aaronrouse.bsky.social(23).
5/5 profound impact of her life and work. The world has lost an extraordinary woman, but her legacy will live on in the countless lives she touched, including mine. Rest in peace, Nikki. Your influence will never be forgotten.

We are overjoyed to welcome our beautiful daughter into the world and are grateful for the love and support we have received from family, friends, and the community. We look forward to this new chapter in our lives as we cherish every moment with Olivia.
Jennifer and I are thrilled to announce the birth of baby girl, Olivia Elizabeth Rouse. Olivia arrived this morning weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces, bringing immense joy and love to our family. Both mother and baby are doing well and we’re appreciative for the care received at Sentara Princess Anne.

I am deeply honored to announce Lashrecse Aird's endorsement of my campaign. She has been a tireless champion for working families, delivering real results to improve our schools, increase access to high-paying jobs, and ensure affordable healthcare for all Virginians.
I’m focusing on key state and local elections and that means doing everything I can to see that @aaronrouse.bsky.social is Virginia’s next Lieutenant Governor. He’s the real deal.
Cathy, I am grateful and humbled by your support. Let's win this!
You deserve fair wages and access to safe, affordable housing. Your children deserve the very best public education. And you deserve a government that stays out of your doctor’s office, lets you love who you love, and protects your freedoms. I will have your back and be your champion, Virginia.
In the NFL and in the Virginia Senate, I’ve seen a winning playbook, and I know that’s what #TeamRouse is building together. We’re running to fight for working Virginians, protect abortion access, and build an economy that works for all. Let’s get to work!
As a former city councilman, I know that real change happens when state and local leaders work together. I’m proud to have a coalition of mayors from across Virginia who believe in our shared vision for progress. #TeamRouse ⬇️
