Here’s a closer look at the results of races in Manassas and Manassas Park, to include constitutional officers and school board members.
In Manassas:
Laura Sellers isn’t going to down without a fight.
“This game on. We’ve just begun,” she said Tuesday night.
Jennifer Carroll Foy took the 2nd District House of Delegates seat from Mike Makee.
This marks the second time the seat has flipped to a Democrat since it was moved from the southwest portion of the state.
The 31st House of Delegates seat goes to political newcomer Elizabeth Guzman, who beat the long-serving Scott Lingamfelter.
The Alexandria social worker beat the decorated Army colonel who retired after 28 years in the service.
In an upset, political newcomer Hyla Ayala beat long-serving Delegate, Richard Anderson.
The Democrat won the 51st District that encompasses much of Prince William County by six points, beating Anderson who has served in the seat since 2009.
Democrat Lee Carter won his election bid over the longtime incumbent Jackson Miller.
The political newcomer beat Miller by at least nine points and will take the 50th House of Delegates District seat in Manassas, and a portion of Prince William County.
Danica Roem defeated incumbent Bob Marshall in the 13th District House race.
The victory makes the Democrat Virginia’s first transgender delegate in Richmond.
QUANTICO — A man who was reported missing over the weekend was found dead at Quantico.
Kevin Tscherch, 48, was found on the Marine Corps Base, according to a Prince William County Police Department spokesman.
There is a lot to look forward to at the Greater Manassas Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 2 beginning at 10 a.m. There will be more than 100 groups, including floats, dancers, marching bands and, of course, Santa. This year’s theme is A “Christmas Carole.”
Every year — this is the 72nd year for the parade — the Parade committee selects a Grand Marshal and a Woman of the year.
