Republicans won western and mid-county Prince William Virginia Districts in their races for Virginia House Delegates. In the 50th, 51st, 13th, 31st and 40th Districts Republican incumbents retained their seats in the house.
Republicans easily won in rural crescent districts. They won by smaller margins in newer HOA communities and lost to Democrats in some older suburban communities and more urban communities.
According to the Prince William County Office of Elections, 35 percent of total registered voters turned out to vote on Tuesday. While this is very low, compared to the 2012 Presidential Election, it is actually a high turnout for a Governor’s race election year.

Democrat Richard A. Cabellos 44.86% with 7,766 votes
