One of the elected members of Prince George’s County, Maryland’s, Board of Education says she’s resigning.
Raaheela Ahmed, 28, served on the district’s school board for the past five years. She’s stepping down, effective Feb. 19, to run for the state senate seat, currently held by incumbent Ron Watson. He was appointed to the District 23 seat by Gov. Larry Hogan in August.
In an interview with WTOP, Ahmed said “I’ve been on the board for 5 years. I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly.”
According to the Maryland State Board of Elections website, there are two candidates who’ve filed to run: Watson, the incumbent, and Sylvia Johnson. Both are Democrats as is Ahmed.
