Updated: Manassas Park: Here’s your chance to hear from local candidates before the Nov. 6 election

MANASSAS — The last known city council debate before voting day is scheduled for October 30 at Metz Middle School at 7 p.m.

The Prince William Chamber of Commerce is hosting the debate.

Ross Snare, director of government relations for the Chamber, said the format will start with greetings and opening statements, followed by questions from panelists. Audience members will then have the opportunity to address questions to candidates from the floor.

Questions will likely be limited to two per panelist, selected in random order.

Voters have had few opportunities to hear from city council candidates this election cycle.

On November 1, residents in Manassas Park will get a chance from candidates seeking election to that city’s Governing Body. There are four candidates vying for three seats on the body.

Voters are slated to hear from all of them on Thursday: Haseed Javed, Alanna Mensing, and incumbents Micheal Cerra, and Preston Banks.

The forum starts at 7 p.m. at Manassas Park Middle School, located at 8202 Euclid Avenue in Manassas Park.

Potomac Local will continue to post Project: Election survey responses from candidates running in the city elections on our website, in our Breakfast Links email, and in a special voters’ guide email on November 5.
