A Washington University fraternity will be hosting a panel of state legislators this week as part of their student political awareness campaign.

As part of their yearlong “I Will…” awareness project, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will welcome State Senator Jeff Smith (who is actually a Wash. U. professor) and State Representatives Margaret Donnelly, Talibdin El-Amin, Jamilah Nasheed, and Clint Zweifel on Thursday at 7:00 PM in Room 100 of the Brown building.

Yesterday, February 25, the Missouri National Education Association announced that it was giving an early endorsement to the reelection campaign of State Representative Jamilah Nasheed (D-St. Louis). The MNEA cited Nasheed’s “consistent and proven support for educational issues” in making their decision. No candidate interviews will be conducted with anyone who files against Nasheed.

Chris Guinther, President of the Missouri NEA stated, “Missouri NEA believes that a great public school is a basic right for every child. Our 34,000 member organization is pleased to recommend Jamilah Nasheed, who understands the responsibility that legislators have to make our public schools great.”

Nasheed said, “A sound education is one of the basic building blocks of quality life. It opens doors and provides opportunities. I look forward to continuing to work with the MNEA to improve the educational system in Saint Louis and the entire state of Missouri.”
