v t e

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. 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. 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.
