Race snapshot
Incumbent Eileen Filler-Corn (D) was first elected to the chamber in a 2010 special election, and she won by only 37 votes. Despite that narrow victory, her only opposition after redistricting in 2011 was a Libertarian candidate who managed to garner over 30 percent of the vote. This cycle, Filler-Corn faced Republican challenger Fredy Burgos and anti-corruption activist and rap video producer DeCarlo in a race for this district that gave President Barack Obama (D) 57 percent of the vote in 2012 and Governor Bob McDonnell (R) 53 percent in 2009. DeCarlo's presence in the race could have complicated matters for Filler-Corn, and he is an experienced candidate after frequent runs for office, but he had not raised any money for his campaign as of September 2013.[3][4][5]
2009
DeCarlo received 25 percent of the vote in the general election on November 3, 2009, losing to incumbent David Bulova. Independent Green Anna Choi also ran, receiving 7 percent.[6]
