VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Today, Congressman Bobby Scott proudly announced his endorsement of Senator Aaron Rouse for Lieutenant Governor, praising Aaron as a relentless fighter for Virginia’s working families. Aaron and Congressman Scott will visit Williamsburg today where Congressman Scott will make his endorsement, becoming the highest ranking and only federal official representing Virginia to endorse in the Democratic primary for Lieutenant Governor.
Aaron continues to build a broad coalition with more than 100 elected officials, the most members of the General Assembly, the most members of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus and 12 mayors throughout the commonwealth endorsing his campaign. This past week, Aaron has been endorsed by major labor unions including the Virginia State Building and Construction Trades Council and Teamsters Joint Council 83.
“I am endorsing Aaron Rouse for Lieutenant Governor because I trust him to stand up for our community and the entire Commonwealth,” said Congressman Bobby Scott. “With Donald Trump turning our economy upside down and attacking Virginia workers, we need a fighter who knows how to get things done in Richmond. From protecting federal workers to investing in our kids’ education, Aaron has proven time after time that he’ll take on Trump and deliver results.”
“Congressman Scott has dedicated his life to public service and fighting for working families. I’m honored to have his support and will continue working every day to make Virginia a place where everyone can thrive,” said Senator Aaron Rouse. “As Ranking Member of the House Education and Workforce, he helped save over a million pensions, cut uninsured rates to record lows, reduced child hunger and delivered the largest-ever investment in K-12 schools. His leadership is an inspiration, and I’m proud to stand with him in this fight.”
With Congressman Scott’s endorsement, Rouse continues to build momentum as he campaigns to become the next Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, standing up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk and fighting for every corner of the Commonwealth.
