A group of candidates running for Manassas Park City Governing Board will meet and greet voters tonight.
The candidates’ forum will begin at 7 p.m. at the Manassas Park Community Center, located at 99 Adams Street in Manassas Park.

List of confirmed participants include: Frank Jones, Jeanette Rishell, Hector Cendejas, Melissa Garza, Mehtab Kahlon, Miriam Machado, Michael Rogers, Richard Schubert, Donald Shuemaker, and Bill Treuting.
There are three open seats on the Governing Body this election cycle.
Jones is seeking re-election as Mayor, while Rishell decided not to run for reelection for her seat on the Manassas City Park Governing Board to seek a first term as Mayor. Both of these candidates appear on the city’s election ballot.
