Nicholas Seppy, a New Jersey teenager, won a seat at his local school board election after Covid-19 policies interfered with his entire senior year of high school.
Seppy, who said in an interview that the Covid shutdowns were “awful,” stated that he ran for school board “out of a desire to serve in [his] community” and to “give parents a voice in the district.”
The 19-year-old, who graduated in 2020 from Egg Harbor Township High School in South Jersey’s Atlantic County, beat long-time incumbent Terre Alabarda for a seat on the school board. Seppy reportedly beat Alabarda by a massive margin of 17-points, earning 4,042 votes to Alabarda’s 2,830.
