The scheduled debate between Democrat Jeremy McPike and Republican Hal Parrish on Oct. 6, 2015 has been canceled.
Due to requests for date and venue changes, the campaigns were unable to agree to a date and location for the debate.
Governor Terry McAuliffe met with parents, teachers and administrators at an ‘education roundtable’ at Brooke Point High School in Stafford last week.
Meeting in the newly completed library facility at the high school, the roundtable, which was run by Virginia Secretary of Education Anne Holton, gave time for parents to speak to McAuliffe about education.
Scott Walker on the road to the White House made a stop in Prince William County on Saturday.
The Republican Wisconsin Governor rallied the county’s GOP faithful while touting himself as a reformer different from most Republicans in office.

Candidates Earnie Porta and Ruth Anderson for Occoquan district supervisor will meet for a debate hosted by Potomac Local on October 16 at 7 p.m.
The candidates are looking to fill the seat currently filled by Supervisor Michael May, who is running for Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney.

We reported earlier today Democrat Scott Surrovell and Republican Gerald “Jerry” Foreman would meet for a debate in Occoquan later this month. We were wrong, as no debate between the two candidates vying to replace longtime Virginia State Senator Toddy Puller (D-36, Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford), is scheduled.
At first glance, it appeared Surovell had taken it upon himself to schedule a debate himself.

Micheal C. May won special election 2007 to serve on the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
He replaced Corey Stewart who went on to become the chairman of the board. During his time on the board, May has gained a reputation of being a moderate on the county’s governing board.
Some candidates rise and fall with their party affiliation. For others, it simply doesn’t matter.
For example, take candidates running for school board in Virginia. A provision in the state code mandates all candidates for school board run without the affiliation of a political party and seek offices as independent.
