(IPT) American Muslim leaders with documented ties to the Muslim Brotherhood congratulated Fairfax County, Va., at-large school board candidate Abrar Omeish on winning the endorsement of the county’s Democratic Party, posts on her father Esam Omeish’s Facebook page show.
She serves as a member of the school board’s Human Resources Advisory Committee and also was an organizer for the Democratic National Committee in 2017. Her Facebook page noted she raised $50,000 for her campaign in the first quarter of 2019, more than all of her opponents combined. She will appear on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Her stated platform includes reducing student-teacher ratios, improving teacher morale and improving the school district’s fiscal condition.
Abrar Omeish is close to the Muslim Brotherhood-created International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT), which hosted her on a February podcast to talk about her campaign.
