Of the three
Bridgewater candidates in the race for two open seats on the Bridgewater-Raritan
Board of Education (BR-BOE) is Zachary Malek, a recent graduate of
Bridgewater-Raritan High School, and a new face in his quest for public
service.
Malek is in his
first year at Rutgers, where he is majoring in political science. Should he be elected, he will be one of a
few, if not only the second person of his age ever to win election to such a
responsibility in New Jersey.
This is not
a run-of-the-mill school board election, because the other two candidates are
heavily experienced in school board affairs.
One is an incumbent, while the other is a previous board member.
So why
consider Zachary Malek? Why place your bet on a young man studying at Rutgers?
