Manassas Park City Council 2018-present

Experienced and Engaged.

Alanna is running for Mayor! November 2024

I am excited to announce my candidacy for Mayor. I have the experience and community engagement to bring Manassas Park into a bright future. I will work to continue to diversify our tax base, bringing retail and entertainment to our community and lowering our real estate taxes. With a focus on safety and transportation, I will work to improve pedestrian access to the entire city. Funding education and properly staffing our departments, I will work towards a diverse and strong community for us all!
