Contested races for Delegates seats increase
Culpeper Star Exponent
The major political parties are competing for 58 House of Delegates seats this fall — an increase from recent election cycles.
An unofficial tally by the Virginia Public Access Project shows 68 of the 100 seats will be contested, up from 41 in 2007 and 49 in 2005. But 10 of this year’s contests involve a major-party candidate running against an independent. Independents generally have little chance of beating a major-party incumbent.
The State Board of Elections will announce the official candidacies Wednesday.
In the state’s 30th District, Del. Ed Scott, R-Madison, is running again to represent the people of Culpeper, Madison and Orange counties. He has held the seat since 2004, consisently beating out a string of candidates from his own party.
Scott will be opposed again in this year’s election, but by an independent. Matt Carson, a small businessman originally from Fauquier County, recently announced his bid to compete for the seat in the statehouse and filed the necessary paperwork with the local registrar to do so.
