District 3: Republicans April Culbreath and Talha “Tal” Siddique
Here is a snapshot:
Tal Siddique — a rising, 30-year-old leader who is highly intelligent; hard-working; well-versed on county affairs; widely active in the community; and wise beyond his years.
April Culbreath — chair of the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee whose performances there and as a former Manatee sheriff’s deputy were, to put it kindly, less than stellar, or not to expected standards.
To put it another way: In Siddique, Manatee County taxpayers would have an unencumbered, independent, thoughtful representative. Take it from his own words:
“We need a new generation of leadership outside the establishment with a fresh perspective on tackling local issues. The majority on our board adheres to the short-term needs of a select few special interest groups while failing to empower the average resident. I want to get our county government back to thinking long-term about how we spend our tax dollars and the value we get out of them.”
