Virginia House Candidate Comes Out As A Swinger Ahead Of November Election
Rorrer, a Democraticcandidate for Virginia's House of Delegates in the 47th district, revealed Saturday on social media that she is married and ethically nonmonogamous, meaning she and her husband consensually date other couples together.
'In politics, people love to dig up the unexpected and spin it into a spectacle,' the 47-year-old wrote on social media. 'I don't do shame, and I sure won't give anyone else the opportunity to tell my story.'
Rorrer told HuffPost on Tuesday that while no one was threatening to out her, she believes word of her lifestyle would have gotten out of her inner circle inStuart, Virginia, her hometown with a population of just over 1,000.
'What we do is together, and is often categorized under the term of 'swingers,' which has been around since the dawn of the sexual revolution. It's a large community of people,' Rorrer told HuffPost.
'This is not something that we have hidden from our adult children, our closest friends, the majority of our family members,' she added. 'This has been our way of life for several years, and so it it would have come out. And if it was going to come out, I would rather it be for me and in my own words.'
Rorrer and her husband of 22 years have been practicing ethical nonmonogamy for about two and a half years. They haven't been intimate with another couple in six months, however, she said.
After Rorrer revealed the information on social media, the internet had plenty to say — 'TMI,' 'degenerate lifestyle,' 'I guess Virginia is for lovers' — and Rorrer personally replied to many of the messages she received onthe first day. Now, she said, her notifications are silenced, so she doesn't see the responses.
Rorrer said the reactions have been mixed. Her dad told her it 'doesn't pull a hair off my ass.' Other family members, however, didn't know about it until she posted about it on social media.
Rorrer's husband's parents are upset, she said — almost as upset as when they found out Rorrer is running for the delegate seat as a Democrat.
Rorrer is a newbie to politics. She worked in property management for 20 years before the COVID-19 pandemic, then spent her time volunteering by representing child abuse victims in the court system. After her opponent, Wren Williams, voted against HB1727, which states that a person convicted of rape can't have parental rights of the child born of the rape, Rorrer decided to join the race.
'That's what did it for me,' Rorrer told HuffPost. 'I have no political background, but I have a mouth and I have an opinion, and that did it. That pretty much did it for me.'
Politicians' sex lives have been subject to scrutiny since the beginning. Stan Pulliam — former mayor of Sandy, Oregon, and a 2022 Republican candidate for Oregon governor — came clean in 2022 about being a part of a swingers' group in 2016. Christian Ziegler, the former chairman of the Florida Republican party, perused bars looking for women to bring home to his wife, Bridget Ziegler, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, a far-right group aimed at getting conservatives elected to school boards, according to a police report related to a rape accusation made against Christian Ziegler. Madison Cawthorn, a former Republican member of Congress, said politicians have invited him to orgies.
Rorrer might be the first to be open about her nontraditional lifestyle from the beginning.
'It doesn't have to be for you,' she said. 'There's a lot of things that aren't for me, but I don't judge people for it, unless they're hurting somebody. What consensual adults do behind closed doors and in their relationships belong to them. It's 2025. It's time for people to start respecting the fact that people can make choices for their own lives that work for them. Me and my husband are happy. We are happy, and I'll be honest with you, our relationship and our communication and the depth of which we were able to love grew stronger after we got into this lifestyle than it had ever been, and it was because we had to communicate.'
Does she think the announcement will help her campaign?
'No,' she said with a laugh. But she said she didn't think it would hurt her chances, either.
'I think the people who were going to vote for me anyway will still vote for me,' she said. 'Democrats ... tend to be open to the differences in lifestyles and allowing people to be who they are. It's the more religious people who are judging us the hardest right now. You know, we're going to hell.'
Virginia's 47th House of Delegates district typically votes red. The district was redistricted from the 9th House of Delegates district, which voted for a Republican representative for House of Delegates all the way back to at least 2008.
'I will have to now probably rely on all the swingers in the country to fund my campaign,' Rorrer said with a laugh.

Illinois gov. signs bill opening financial aid to all residents — including illegal immigrants
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a major Democratic leader and rumored presidential candidate, signed a bill into law opening student financial aid to all residents, regardless of immigration status, opening a pathway for illegal immigrants residing in the state to receive educational financial benefits. The move was slammed by conservative Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., as rewarding illegal immigrants and a 'slap in the face' to Illinois families and students. The bill purports to establish 'equitable eligibility for financial aid and benefits' for all students in the state. The bill reads that 'a student who is an Illinois resident and who is not otherwise eligible for federal financial aid, including, but not limited to, a transgender student who is disqualified for failure to register for selective service or a noncitizen student who has not obtained lawful permanent residence, shall be eligible for financial aid and benefits.' One of the bill's sponsors, state Sen. Celina Villanueva, a Democrat, celebrated Pritzker signing the bill by saying in a statement that 'this law is about making sure no student is left behind because of where they were born.' 4 Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law opening student financial aid to all residents, opening a pathway for illegal immigrants residing in the state to receive educational financial benefits. REUTERS A statement by Villanueva's office said that the measure 'eliminates the patchwork of confusing and sometimes conflicting requirements that have excluded undocumented, DACAmented, and mixed-status students from critical aid.' The law pertains to any student residing in Illinois, making him or her eligible for financial aid programs funded or administered by the state, local governments, or public universities, according to the statement. The statement said that the law 'builds upon Villanueva's long-standing advocacy for immigrant and first-generation students by creating a more consistent and inclusive pathway to accessing support.' 4 The move was slammed by conservative Rep. Mary Miller (above), R-Ill., as rewarding illegal immigrants and a 'slap in the face' to Illinois families and students, according to reports. AP 'If you live in Illinois and are pursuing higher education, you should have access to the same opportunities as your peers,' said Villanueva. 'Illinois invests in all of our students, and we're committed to helping them succeed.' Commenting on the legislation, Miller told Fox News Digital that 'allowing taxpayer-funded financial aid for illegal aliens is a slap in the face to hardworking Illinois families and students.' 'Our state is drowning in debt, yet JB Pritzker is determined to drain even more taxpayer dollars to reward illegals,' she said. 'It's absolutely shameful.' 4 The bill purports to establish 'equitable eligibility for financial aid and benefits' for all students in the state, reports say.

AP A spokesperson for the Illinois GOP also chimed in, telling Fox News Digital that 'once again, Governor Pritzker proves that he is prioritizing illegal immigrants at the expense of Illinois families.' 'Illinois taxpayers should not have their hard-earned taxpayer dollars pay for benefits to illegal immigrants who shouldn't be here in the first place,' added the spokesperson. Pritzker's office declined Fox News Digital's request for comment. Villanueva's office had not replied to Fox News Digital's request for comment by the time of publication.

Air Force's top uniformed officer is retiring early in latest Trump military shake-up
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force's top uniformed officer is set to retire early in the most recent shake-up of military leadership during President Donald Trump's second term. Gen. David Allvin will continue serving as the service's chief of staff until a replacement is confirmed by the Senate, the Air Force announced Monday. He expects to retire around Nov. 1, two years into his four-year term, it said in a statement. Allvin joins other top military officials who have stepped down or been fired by Trump's Republican administration during a broader leadership upheaval, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's plans to slash the number of senior military positions in what he calls an efficiency effort and a purge of top officers who were believed to endorse diversity, equity and inclusion programs. For example, Trump fired Air Force Gen. CQ Brown Jr. as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in February. Brown was the second Black general to serve as chairman, and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine later took over the role. Allvin, a command pilot with more than 4,600 flying hours, was appointed Air Force chief of staff by President Joe Biden, a Democrat, serving since November 2023. Before that, he was vice chief of staff during Trump's first term. 'I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve as the 23rd Air Force Chief of Staff and I'm thankful for Secretary Meink, Secretary Hegseth and President Trump's faith in me to lead our service,' Allvin said in the Air Force's statement. ___
