Teenager Running for New Paltz School Board

Dan Torres is 18 and running for a seat on the New Paltz school board because he wants to bring “the district infor the 21st century,” according to the Times Herald-Record. He is running for one of the three seats on the board, and is likely to be running against Rod Dressel Jr., who is an incumbent, and KT Tobin Flusser, who has expressed an interest in running for a seat.

Torres is a senior at New Paltz High School and has been active in several national and local political campaigns. If elected, he will be the youngest public official to be elected since Jason West became the mayor of New Paltz five years ago.
