District 50 is being contested by a Democratic candidate this cycle. The seat is currently held by Republican Jackson Miller. This seat was challenged by a Democrat in the last cycle. In that race Miller won by a just 2,336 vote margin out of 13,304 cast. While a comfortable margin for that number of votes, that gap is definitely one that can be readliy closed.
THE ANNOUNCED CANDIDATE IS LEE JIN CARTER:

There is a total of 13 precincts in District 50. Prince William County has 8 precincts and 5 in Manassas City. Voter registration seems low in this district. That said, it is my understanding that there are a lot of foreign nationals in the region that might drive that percentage down. That said, it is worth considering looking at registration drives as a tactic with this race.
