The special election in the Virginia Beach-based swing district attracted national attention as a proxy for the future of abortion access in the state.
With all precincts reporting, Rouse declared victory in the competitive race for the swing-district seat vacated by Republican Jen A. Kiggans after she was elected to Congress in November. Late Tuesday night, the race was separated by hundreds of votes, with about 168 provisional ballots and an unknown number of absentee ballots still remaining to count.
With Gov. Glenn Youngkin pushing to ban abortion in Virginia after 15 weeks, Rouse, a former football safety for the Green Bay Packers, made defending abortion access a key campaign issue. He focused two of his three TV ads on the topic.
