2023 Virginia's 4th congressional district special election
An election was held on January 10, 2023, to fill
Virginia's 7th Senate district, following the resignation of Republican incumbent
Jen Kiggans on November 15, 2022, to become a U.S. Representative.[5] Democrat
Aaron Rouse, an at-large
Virginia Beach City Council member since 2018, narrowly defeated Republican Kevin Adams, a retired U.S. Navy lieutenant commander and small business owner.[6] With the election of Rouse, the district was flipped from Republican to Democratic control.
New state legislative maps took effect on January 11, 2023, at the start of 2023 legislative session; however, this special election took place under previous district lines.
