ABOUT ABRAR


As Member At-Large on the Fairfax County School Board, I hope to work for an inclusive and equitable FCPS that provides every student with a quality education. With over 188,000 students in FCPS, 61.5% of whom represent minority populations and 31% of whom qualify for free and reduced-price meals, it is imperative that we fight for every voice in Fairfax County.

Being a product of FCPS prepared me for a high-achieving career with a passion to bring real change that helps our students and families. I want the same for ALL students here and will work tirelessly towards that goal. I need you to join me to continue fighting for every student in FCPS: your children and your neighbors. Let’s reimagine opportunity in Fairfax. Let’s consider every child one of ours and believe in their potential.
