Manassas Local Election: 4 Manassas School Board Candidates Projected To Win

MANASSAS, VA — Four of eight candidates are projected winners in the election for four Manassas School Board, according to unofficial results with all precincts in.

The candidates for school board are Christina Brooks, Diana Brown, Allie Forkell, Javanese Hailey, Zella Jones, Dayna-Marie Miles, Suzanne Seaberg and Maidy Whitesell. With all six precincts reporting, the four leading candidates are Seaberg with 14.52 percent, Brown with 14.02 percent, Jones with 13.45 percent and Miles with 13.19 percent.

Results are unofficial until they are certified by election officials.

Brooks and Seaberg are incumbents who sought re-election, while two other seats were vacated by Carl Hollingsworth and City Council candidate Robyn Williams. Democratic-endorsed candidates are Seaberg, Brown, and Jones, and Republican-endorsed candidates are Forkell, Hailey, Miles and Whitesell.

The Manassas School Board is made up of seven members, and four of the seats are up for election in 2024. The four-year terms are staggered, which means the elections every two years include three or four seats on the board. Members are elected at large, so voters could cast a ballot for up to four candidates.

Along with school board, Manassas voters had Manassas mayor, three Manassas City Council seats, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, president and a Virginia constitutional amendment on the general election ballot.
