Manassas City Councilwoman Theresa Coates Ellis announced she is running for re-election in the Tuesday, November 3, 2026, general election. Ellis is currently serving her second four-year term on the City Council, according to a campaign announcement.
Ellis highlighted fiscal responsibility, smart growth, education, and communication as her top priorities if re-elected. She said the city must balance affordable taxes with public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and responsible economic development. “We must focus on the needs of our residents while keeping taxes affordable,” Ellis said in the announcement.
Police said the operation followed the recovery of several skimming devices locally late last year. Credit card skimmers are typically hidden on payment terminals to steal card information, leading to fraudulent charges and identity theft. Officers encouraged residents to inspect card readers, use chip or contactless payments, monitor statements, and report suspicious activity immediately.
Manassas police are waiting on crash data results before deciding whether to pursue charges in a fatal January collision that killed a 74-year-old woman.

The free wellness workshop will be held on Valentine’s Day from 1 to 4 p.m. Participants will take home their finished clay pieces to air-dry and complete as they wish. Seating is limited, and advance registration is required. The class is offered in collaboration with UVA Health.
“Due to the current temperatures and icy conditions, enforcement of the City’s sidewalk snow-removal ordinance is temporarily suspended,” the City of Manassas announced. “Residents are still encouraged to help neighbors when possible and to do what they can to improve safety, including clearing walkways or spreading salt or sand in areas where ice cannot be safely removed.”
City officials said residents who need help clearing sidewalks can call 571-292-5316. The city partners with Volunteer Prince William through an assisted snow-shoveling program aimed at helping high-risk residents unable to clear sidewalks on their own. Additional snow-removal resources are available on the city’s website.
