There are three open seats on the Governing Body this year. Seats held by Alana Mensing (D), Haseeb Javed (D), and Preston Banks (I) are up for re-election.
According to Manassas Park Voter Registrar Patricia Brendel, Mensing and former councilman Michael Carrera who ran for mayor in 2020, have filed to run for one of three open seats.
Caucus Rules will be posted, along with other pertinent forms and information about the nominating process, at the Manassas and Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee website. According to a press release, any changes to the Caucus Rules will be updated on the site.
Each person seeking to become a Democratic nominee for City Council in the general election should submit a signed and witnessed copy of the Declaration of Candidacy form and a certified check, cashier’s check, personal check, or money order for the filing fee of $250, payable to the Manassas and Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee (MMPCDC), to the Manassas and Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee Co-chair, Cheryl Macias, 9502 Oakenshaw Drive, Manassas, Va. 20110, the following by 5 p.m. Friday, April 29, 2022.

The Declaration of Candidacy form shall be available on the Manassas and Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee (MMPCDC) website.
If fewer than four qualified candidates file for this nomination by the April 29 deadline, the Chair may declare those candidates to be the Party’s nominees and cancel the nominating Caucus.
