Electoral history
Republican Rich Anderson represented District 51 from 2010 to 2018.[3] In November 2017, he was defeated by Democrat Hala Ayala in an election where the Medicaid expansion figured significantly; Anderson opposed while Ayala supported the policy, which ultimately passed, making an additional 14,000 Prince William County residents eligible for the low-income health insurance program.[3]
Anderson has declared his candidacy to challenge Ayala in 2019.[3]
