Update — Sept. 17, 2015
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.
I thank the Prince William County Republican Committee and the Prince William County Democratic Committee, Prince William County Public Schools, Home Instead Senior Care of Manassas, and the Bull Run Unitarian Universalists for working with Potomac Local in attempting to secure a debate location.
Best of luck to both campaigns. Election Day is November 3. You can read our election coverage at ProjectElection.com.
