Nafisa Fai was elected to the Washington County Commission this week, becoming the commission’s first Black and Muslim member. That reflects the growing push for the county’s leadership to reflect the diversity of its residents — one-third of Washington County’s residents are non-white. We speak with Fai about her campaign, and her goals as commissioner.
