State Rep. Bo Mitchell is the rare Nashville Democratic lawmaker who regularly faces competitive Republican challenges.
Zoom in: Michell, a former Metro Council member, represents western and northern parts of Davidson County, which have more Republican voters than other Nashville districts.
State of play: Mitchell had to scrap for narrow victories early in his career, before converting District 50 into a safe Democratic seat. His last two elections he didn't have an opponent in the general election.
- However, Michell is facing a legitimate challenger yet again this year from Republican Metro Councilmember Jennifer Frensley Webb.
Flashback: Above is a chart showing Mitchell's vote margins since he was elected to the legislature in 2012.
- His closest election was his first, as Mitchell defeated Republican Charles Williamson by just 156 votes (13,208 to 13,052) in 2012.
