Four run for two open East Williston BOE seats in contested election
With two incumbent trustees, Tasmin Meghji and David Keefe, choosing not to seek re-election, the East Williston school district race has been thrown wide open.
District voters will see four new names on their ballot this year and two new faces on their board after the election is over.
Running for Meghji’s old seat, which she has held since 2020, are Nadia Afridi, a surgeon with two children currently in the district, and Eswar Sivaraman, who has a PhD in Industrial Engineering and works with AI, machine learning and data science in research and development roles in marketing agencies and has had three children in the district.
Afridi said she was motivated to run after her oldest child went through the college application process last year because she wanted to increase information and support coming from the school for families during senior year.
