Nicholas Seppy graduated from Egg Harbor Township High School in New Jersey in 2020, in the midst of the craziness that we all know as the covid shutdowns. Feeling that the local school board didn't represent the students, Seppy decided to run for a seat, and he won.

He upset the incumbent school board member by a whopping 17-point margin - 4,042 to 2,830 votes.

In a statement Wednesday to The College Fix, Seppy lambasted the shutdowns as "awful" and said that he was motivated to run for a seat on the school board "out of a desire to serve in [his] community" and to "give parents a voice in the district."

According to The College Fix, the Egg Harbor Township School District continued to force students into online or hybrid learning for the majority of the 2020-2021 school year. And it looks like voters in their district have had enough.

During his senior year, the 2019-2020 school year, Seppy served as the student representative to the school board, so for him, this is just the next step in serving the students in his local community.
