Sen. David Hann supports 2 right wing political activists for EP School Board: Adam Seidel & Murshid Barud
Posted by SD48 DFL Communications Team in David Hann, Voting
In an email sent yesterday David Hann expressed his support for Adam Seidel & Murshid Barud for Eden Prairie School Board:

Dear Friend,
I have received a number of messages asking my opinion of the candidates fortomorrow’s EP School Board election. As a former school board member, I think those elected play a vital role in the governance of our schools. Fortunately, I believe we have some good people who have decided to run this year. There are two candidates I have known for some time, and for whom I intend to vote; Murshid Barud and Adam Seidel. Murshid has been very active in local and state politics and was a strong support for me in my last election. He is a Republican, and given the changing demographics in Eden Prairie, he would play an important role as a member of the Board. Adam Seidel is also a Republican and has been politically active. He will make a strong connection with many of the younger families who have moved into Eden Prairie in recent years. Please join me in supporting these two candidates for Eden Prairie School Board. Thank You, |
