Signs for Council Rock Candidate Are Vandalized in Newtown

NEWTOWN, PA — Nicole Khan, who is running for the position of School Board Director of the Council Rock School District, was taking her son to school when she saw pink spray paint all over one of her large campaign signs in Newtown.

Khan, a Democrat from Wrightstown, wrote about the incident, which took place on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 19, on her Facebook campaign page.

"This morning as I was on my way into Newtown after dropping off my son at school, I saw one of my large signs at the corner of Eagle Rd. and Wrights Rd. vandalized with spray paint."

Khan then drove around Newtown and Wrightstown after seeing this first sign and found two of her other large signs were also vandalized, one with the same bright pink spray paint and one destroyed.

These signs, which Khan took pictures of, were located on Wrights Rd. & Eagle Rd., Twining Bridge & Swamp Rd, and Pine Lane & Windy Bush. Khan points out that her signs were the only ones targeted by vandalism. Other signs were taken down around the two areas as well.

Khan said she has filed a police report as a result of the incident.

She also wrote about how her supporters should look at incidents like these.

"I ask my supporters and friends to not let this act stop us, but empower us," she wrote on her Facebook campaign page. "Get the word out to all your friends, neighbors and family to vote on November 2nd."

Khan, who is running for School Board Director, will be on the ballot on Nov. 2.
