Over the course of the next few months you’ll often see Uriah Ward’s, Omar Syed’s, and our Steph for SPPS teams campaigning together. We believe that it is critical to have a progressive Saint Paul School Board with members dedicated to supporting our educator and labor partners in order to best meet the challenges facing our district as well as continue to uplift and nurture the endless possibility that lies in our Saint Paul Public Schools. Uriah, Omar and Stephanie have all been endorsed by the St. Paul DFL, SPFE Local 28, AFSCME Council 5, and the St. Paul Regional Labor Federation. We hope you will consider supporting all three of us throughout this campaign season and on the ballot on November 3.
