After shutdowns spoiled his senior year, Nicholas Seppy ran for school board and defeated an incumbent candidate, reports said.
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — A 2020 graduate whose senior year was disrupted by COVID-19 shutdowns defeated an incumbent candidate in Egg Harbor Township's school board race this week.
At 19 years old, Nicholas Seppy upset Terre Alabarda for a seat on the school board by a 17-point margin. Seppy received 4,042 votes to Terre Alabarda's 2,830, according to Atlantic County's unofficial election results.
Seppy told the College Fix that the shutdowns he experienced as a student last year were "awful." Schools in Egg Harbor Township operated under a hybrid instruction model for most of the 2020-2021 school year.
