Forty-four percent of the vote went to his opponent, Democrat Richard Cabellos of Manassas City. This was the first time Cabellos has sought a political office.

 The 51st District also voted to keep its delegate, Richard Anderson, on Tuesday.  Anderson, a Republican, won re-election by capturing 53 percent of the 24,315 votes. His opponent, Democrat Reed Heddleston got 46 percent of the vote.  Richardson has been in the House of Delegates since 2010.

Voter turnout in Prince William County remained well under 20 percent for the better part of Election Day. 

About 11 percent of the registered voters in Prince William County had cast ballots at their respectively precincts by early Tuesday afternoon, according to data released by the county's Office of Elections. 

At 3 p.m. elections officials said 28,685 had voted, not much more than the 27,417 reported at 10 a.m.  Many precincts such as Freedom, Berrymount and Kerrydale, hadn't reported a single voter, according to PWC data. 

Manassas City election officials didn't publish exact voter numbers, but did say an uptick appeared to be in process toward the end of the day, as voters arrived home from work. 

The Election Day lunch hour was busy at Jennie Dean Elementary School, Manassas City's largest voting precinct. 
A steady stream of cars moved in and out of the full lot, where parking spaces were hard to come by. Veteran assistant precinct chief Roy Ethington said Jennie Dean historically reports the highest voter turnout in the city. By 1 pm, more than 1,072 of the 5,172 registered at the precinct had voted. That's about 20 percent, Ethington said.

 Cabellos, who who ran against incumbent Republican Del. Jackson Miller, was out at Jennie Dean around noon on Tuesday, greeting voters and thanking them for voting.
Cabollos said he voted just before 6:30 a.m this morning at Weems Elementary.
Besides marrying his wife, this is the most important thing he's ever done, Cabellos said. Not many Latinos run for office, he added. 

 As of noon, about 3,686 registered residents had voted, according to the Manassas City Voter Registration Office.  About 21,433 people are registered to vote in the city of Manassas.
