The organizers sought to include legislative districts that represent Prince William, Manassas City and Manassas Park. Organizers also invited candidates from the open 2ndHouse District seat. Democratic candidate Jennifer D. Carroll Foy accepted, however, Mike D. Makee is undecided. A forum for House Districts Candidates for 13th, 40th and 50th was scheduled earlier, but was canceled when some declined. However, candidates in the 13th and 40th HD have completed a questionnaire that may be found at vote411.org.
“These forums allow the public access to those seeking to represent them,” said Cozy Bailey, PWNAACP President. “We are proud to help bring these candidates to the public,” continued Bailey.
