A debate scheduled for Oct. 13 at the Manassas Park Community Center is canceled.
Potomac Local invited Democrat Don Shaw and incumbent Republican Bob Marshall to debate the issues. Shaw accepted the request but Marshall did not.
Marshall provided this statement to Potomac Local Publisher Uriah Kiser:
I had previously indicated to you that I had accepted a debate with the Committee of One Hundred, a long-respected, bi-partisan group in Prince William County that had organized debates for many years with not one criticism on partiality.
Mr. Shaw did not accept the Committee of One Hundred invitation to debate, and, therefore, that debate was canceled. I will not be participating in other debates. Thank you.
