To the editor:

I am recommending a friend of mine, Mehr Qayyum, for 3rd District DuPage County Board. She is a born and raised Illinoisan, having completed her primary and secondary education in this area, including Hinsdale South High School, a degree from University of Chicago, then a master's in public policy from Georgetown. She worked for four years as a policy analyst for the Senate and House, and bringing this expertise to the local level, she does consulting for business start-ups in DuPage County. Please vote for her March 20 [for] DuPage County Board, 3rd District.
