Posted by SD48 DFL Communications Team in Voting, Voting & the Election
Seven candidates have filed for the four school board seats that are up for election on Tuesday, Nov. 3. The candidates are Asad Aliweyd, Murshid Barud, Dave Espe (incumbent), John Kohner, Greg Lehman, Jeffery Saxton, and Adam Seidel.
DFL Senate District 48 has given a letter of support to Asad Aliweyd.
We feel Asad Aliweyd has the strong educational foundation and demonstrated values that we share.
visit Asad’s website for details
Note: Keep in mind when voting that you may choose up to 4 candidates, however you can optionally indicate only one if you wish, especially if only one candidate strongly supports the public school system.
