A Democrat, Rasoul was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in January 2014.[1] He is the only Muslim member of the Virginia General Assembly.[1] He represents the 11th District, which is made up of part of the City of Roanoke. Political careerRasoul first ran for elected office in 2008 when he challenged incumbent Republican Bob Goodlatte for Virginia's 6th Congressional seat. Rasoul earned 36% to Goodlatte's 61%.[2] Rasoul was elected in a special election held on January 7, 2014. The special election was held to fill the vacancy created by the resignation, in November 2013, of Delegate Onzlee Ware.[3] After winning the Democratic primary by 44 votes, Rasoul received nearly 70% of the vote over his Republican opponent Octavia Johnson in the general election.[4] He was inducted into office on January 8, 2014.[5] In September 2016 he initiated House Joint Resolution 541 to the Virginia House of Delegates, a proposed amendment to the Virginia Constitution for "top two open primaries" for various Virginia elections, in which candidates from opposing parties would run on one ballot.[6] The top two candidates in the proposed public primaries would subsequently compete in traditional one-on-one runoffs in Virginia's general elections.[6] Personal lifeRasoul was born in Warren, Ohio in 1981, the son of Palestinian immigrants.[7] He and his wife Layaly have three children.[8] Electoral History{{Election box begin no change|title=House of Delegates 11th District Special Election, 2014 [9]}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link no change|party=Democratic Party (United States)|candidate=Sam Rasoul|votes=5,129|percentage=70.2%}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change|party=Republican Party (United States)|candidate=Octavia Lyvonne Johnson|votes=2,166|percentage=29.6%}}{{Election box candidate no change|party=|candidate=Write-in|votes=14|percentage=0.2%}}{{Election box total no change|votes=7,309|percentage=100.00%}}{{Election box hold with party link without swing|winner=Democratic Party (United States)}}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change|title=House of Delegates 11th District Election, 2015[10]}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link no change|party=Democratic Party (United States)|candidate=Sam Rasoul (inc.)|votes=11,216|percentage=96.2%}}{{Election box candidate no change|party=|candidate=Write-in|votes=447|percentage=3.8%}}{{Election box total no change|votes=11,663|percentage=100.00%}}{{Election box hold with party link without swing|winner=Democratic Party (United States)}}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin no change | title= House of Delegates 11th District Election, 2017 [11] }}{{Election box winning candidate with party link no change|party = Democratic Party (United States) |candidate = Sam Rasoul (inc.) |votes = 15,667 |percentage = 96.93% }}{{Election box candidate no change |party = |candidate = write-ins |votes = 496 |percentage = 3.07% }}{{Election box total no change |votes = 16,163 |percentage = 100% }}{{Election box hold with party link without swing|winner=Democratic Party (United States)}}{{Election box end}} References1. ^1 {{Cite web|title = Richmond Sunlight » Delegate Sam Rasoul (D-Roanoke)|url = https://www.richmondsunlight.com/legislator/srasoul/#donors|website = www.richmondsunlight.com|accessdate = November 30, 2015}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/2008election.pdf|title=House clerks's office|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.roanoke.com/news/article_2b9e6ad4-77a9-11e3-92c2-001a4bcf6878.html | title=Sam Rasoul easily takes Roanoke House of Delegates seat | work=The Roanoke Times | date=January 8, 2014 | accessdate=January 8, 2014 | author=Yoon, Erica}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=https://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/01/08/special-election-in-virginia-another-cliffhanger/ | title=Special Election in Virginia: Another Cliffhanger | work=The Wall Street Journal | date=January 8, 2014 | accessdate=January 8, 2014 | author=Ballhous, Rebecca}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.roanoke.com/news/columns_and_blogs/blogs/blue_ridge_caucus/article_6982880a-787e-11e3-ade3-001a4bcf6878.html | title=Rasoul goes to work in Richmond | work=The Roanoke Times | date=January 8, 2014 | accessdate=January 8, 2014 | author=Sluss, Michael}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?171+sum+HJ541|author=LIS - Virginia's Legislative Information System|title=2017 Session: HJ 541 Constitutional amendment;
