Aaron Rouse Releases First Ad of Lieutenant Governor Campaign, Highlighting His Record of Taking on Trump and Standing Strong for Virginia

Ad Features Rouse’s Record on Key Issues, Including Reproductive Freedom, Protecting Federal Workers and Contractors, and Cost of Living

VIRGINIA BEACH – State Senator Aaron Rouse, a Democratic candidate for Virginia Lieutenant Governor, today released his first ad of the campaign, a 30-second spot that highlights his record of taking on Donald Trump and standing strong for Virginia. The ad is part of the campaign’s robust statewide advertising and voter contact program.

The ad spotlights Rouse’s early days playing football for Virginia Tech and in the NFL, and then underscores his record as a strong fighter both on the Virginia Beach City Council and in the State Senate. Time and again, Rouse has stood up to bullies like Glenn Youngkin, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk to deliver on key issues for Virginians, including defending reproductive freedom, protecting federal workers and contractors from Trump and Musk’s chaos, and tackling high cost of living.

Watch the ad here.

Transcript:

“Here we go: Aaron Rouse!”

I’m Senator Aaron Rouse, and I’m not afraid of a fight.

After Roe, I became the deciding vote to defend abortion rights in Virginia.

And cut taxes for seniors.

Now, I’m taking on Trump and Musk, passing a new law to protect federal workers.

As Lieutenant Governor, I’ll go toe to toe to defend Social Security, Medicare, and your wallet.

So President Trump, when you come for Virginia, you gotta go through me.

Levar Stoney for Lt. Governor Announces Major Television Advertising Campaign

Advertising will begin in Norfolk, Richmond, and Washington DC media markets

Richmond, Virginia—Today, the Levar Stoney for Lt. Governor campaign announced they will begin airing a series of advertisements highlighting why voters should choose Levar Stoney as their Democratic nominee by June 17th.

Advertisements will include former Mayor Stoney speaking directly to camera and telling voters in his own voice why he is the best qualified candidate for this position, and will also include former Governor Terry McAuliffe making the case.

“I’m incredibly proud of my record of delivering results over the past eight years as Mayor of Richmond, and before that as Secretary of the Commonwealth,” said former Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney. “From restoring voting rights to more than 200,000 disenfranchised Virginians to removing Richmond’s Confederate monuments and investing in our public schools, I’m ready to put my record as a proven fighter who delivers results up against anyone’s.”

Former Governor Terry McAuliffe said, “Simply put, no candidate can match Levar Stoney’s unparalleled experience and record of accomplishment. I am honored to support his campaign and let Virginians know directly why I think Levar Stoney is the guy for us this June.”

Advertising will begin on Thursday, May 15th, and continue through the primary.
