Letter to the Editor: Mannan for Select Board

by | Apr 13, 2022 | Letter to Editor

I am delighted to support Shahidul (pronounced Shah-hee-dool) Mannan for Hopkinton‘s Select Board.

Shahidul has an impressive business career, but also is an exemplary human being who thinks of others and always does his best at whatever he attempts. Adjectives that describe him are kind, compassionate, warm, generous, intelligent, outgoing, philanthropic, gracious, patient and community-oriented. I am confident that Shahidul will go above and beyond in studying the materials needed for each agenda item. I am also sure he will make time for site visits and meetings needed, other than the monthly Select Board meetings.

In short, I will unhesitatingly vote for Shahidul Mannan for Hopkinton’s Select Board, and suggest you do too!

— Margie Wiggin, Hopkinton
