Three candidates file early for HSE School Board races

As a new work week begins, candidate filings remain light for the Hamilton Southeastern School Board election. So far, three candidates have filed paperwork with the Hamilton County Election Office for two of the four HSE School Board districts on the ballot. Two candidates have filed as Republicans, while one is listed with no party affiliation. In District 1, the candidates filed so far are Faiza Maqsood, who lists no party affiliation, and Greg Wright, who filed as a Republican. In District 3, David Turk has filed as a Republican. The filing period remains in its early stages. Anyone wishing to run for an HSE School Board seat has until noon on June 18 to file with the Hamilton County Election Office in Noblesville. This election cycle marks a change for local school board races. Candidates may now list a political party affiliation on the ballot, although they are not required to do so. Voters will choose only among the candidates running in their own district. (Note:  I had David Turk listed as a candidate in the wrong District in the original posting.  The story has since been corrected.)
