I am writing to express my support for Shahidul Mannan and his efforts to be elected as Select  Board member. Shahidul has spent the last few years giving back to the community and tirelessly volunteering in town. His time on the Growth Study Committee and Appropriation Committee has brought value to the residents of Hopkinton. The town is lucky to have a talented pool of candidates including Shahidul. I wish him and his family the best on Election Day. I ask the residents of Hopkinton to support Shahidul Mannan on May 16.

— Amman Haidr, Hopkinton
