All candidates running for any office in any part of the county, City of Manassas, or City of Manassas Park will be given the opportunity to come and speak to issues important to the LGBTQIA+ community, and why they should earn our vote. This will be a non-partisan event; all candidates will be invited and be treated respectfully if they choose to participate.
As always, please be respectful of everyone who participates even if you do not agree with them. We are better together and work with all folks – no matter where they are in life!
