Races we watched
Races to Watch-2017-badge.png

Ballotpedia identified 13 races to watch in the Virginia House of Delegates 2017 elections: four Democratic seats and nine Republican seats. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.

This was a district where the presidential candidate of the opposite party won by more than 20 points in 2016. Incumbent James LeMunyon (R), who was first elected in 2009, was unopposed in his 2015 re-election. In his 2013 re-election, he defeated Democrat Hung Nguyen by 9.2 points. District 67 was one of 51 Virginia House districts that Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton carried District 67 by 26.7 points. Democrat Barack Obama won the seat in the 2012 presidential election by 8.9 points. As of 2017, District 67 covered parts of Fairfax and Loudoun counties.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Virginia

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
