Background and local role
Daniel “Lieutenant Dan” Rosinski brings military and legal experience to Chesapeake public life. His campaign website identifies him as a Navy officer and attorney, with degrees from Princeton University and the University of Virginia School of Law. It also describes Navy Reserve service and local volunteering.
His published priorities include transportation, safe communities and the effect of city decisions on household costs. Residents considering those goals can ask how a proposal is funded, what tradeoffs it involves and how progress will be reported. A regional transportation question may also require attention to decisions beyond Chesapeake’s council alone.
Rosinski was among the five apparent incoming council members in Virginia ELECT’s November 4, 2026 unofficial snapshot. Mail ballots were partially reported and additional ballot categories were outstanding, so the result remained subject to canvassing and certification. He is not listed here as a current council member. His campaign website supplies a contact route; the official city directory and meeting materials remain the resources for current representation and municipal decisions during the transition.
