Zubair Khan is an at-large member of the Community Consolidated School District 15 Board of Education in Illinois. He was first elected to the board in the general election on April 7, 2015.[1]
Khan joined fellow challengers Jessica C. Morrison and David Gurion to form a candidate slate for the 2015 general election. They supported each other's candidacies and asked voters to put all three of them on the board.[2] They faced another slate of candidates called "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15" that included incumbents Gerard Iannuzzelli and Manjula V. Sriram and challenger Frank Annerino.[3] Neither candidate slate was successful. Only Sriram won her bid for re-election in the "Vote 1-2-3 for District 15" slate, and only two members of the challenger slate, Morrison and Khan, won election to the board.[1]
