Manassas Democrats have forged what they call a unified ticket of candidates running for City Council this fall.
Incumbent Manassas City Councilman Mark Wolfe was elected to the City Council in 2008 as a Republican. Wolfe opted to file for reelection for the GOP and decided to run as a Democrat.
Wolfe has $900 in the bank from Republican donors from previous campaigns.
Correction: Statement from Mark Wolfe sent via email after we published this post:Â
“The section about my having $900 in campaign donations from Republican donors is inaccurate.
In fact I had closed and zeroed out my campaign account after the 2012 election.
The data shown: https://www.vpap.org/donors/193983-mark-wolfe/Â reflects a person donation TO Scott Lingenfel[t]er I made in 2010.”
Also on the Democratic ticket is incumbent Manassas City School Board member Pam Sebesky. She has served on the School Board for the past six years.
Political newcomer Rex Parr rounds out the Democratic ticket. He retired last year as the CEO of Didlake, Inc.
Sebesky and Parr tell us all three candidates are running on a platform of safer and better neighborhoods, and better schools, and to add a new fire station to the city’s southside to improve fire crew response times.
They also told us the city has not had a comprehensive strategic plan since 2003. That is something they want to change.
On the Republican side, Ian Lovejoy, Jonathan Way, and Theresa Coates Ellis round out the ticket.
Voters will head to the polls Nov. 8.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
