Governor Glenn Youngkin issued Executive Order 35, codifying his administration’s election security procedures, which include stringent ballot security, thorough counting machine testing, and rigorous voter list maintenance.
Press release:
The Manassas Republican Party has issued a statement following criticism from Democrats directed at mayoral candidate Xiao-Yin “Tang” Byrom regarding her campaign colors and clothing choices.
The Republican statement reads: “Our Mayor and the city’s elected leaders have their priorities misplaced. Instead of focusing on schools failing our children, limited to no parking that hurts small businesses, safe neighborhoods, limited housing to combat overcrowding, and no tax relief for our citizens – they are instead focused on campaign colors. This is a prime example of why the City of Manassas needs new leadership and a new direction that works for everyone.”

Teenagers from the Manassas Park Community Center teamed up with the Stafford County Animal Shelter to do some cleaning earlier this summer.
The Helping Hands Teen Camp serves multiple organizations and one chosen this summer was in Stafford County. They helped the animal shelter wash windows, sweep the front of the shelter, power wash the walls and clean the intake crate. In exchange, the teens were able to play with some kittens and dogs who received love and affection and tour the facility.

The Stafford County Sheriff’s officer injured in a high-speed chase on July 23 has been identified as Captain Lee Peters, who ran for the Virginia House of Delegates in 2023.
On July 23rd, a high-speed chase involving a wanted suspect began on Kings Highway and ended at Centreport Parkway. The pursuit intensified as the suspect fled onto I-95, exited onto Courthouse Road, and then re-entered I-95 before being stopped by Deputy McAlister’s PIT maneuver. Following the crash, all three suspects fled on foot. The driver, Nicholas Morales, was quickly apprehended by Deputy Vaughn and found to be intoxicated; the back passenger, Ajee Whitter, was captured by Deputy Gildea, and the front passenger, Raymond Whalen, was tracked and caught with the help of a K-9 and SWAT team. All suspects were charged with multiple offenses and are held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.
