Kristen’s pick: Teressa Kavakos, Mahwah Board of Education
Teressa is an outspoken and brave supporter parental rights in her local school district. She has stepped up to run as a candidate for Mahwah BOE, seeking to return traditional academic excellence and values to our public education system. Her positions on curriculum and medical autonomy for parents/guardians from school and governmental overreach make it easy for us to support and endorse Teressa’s candidacy,
Meet Teressa Kavakos…
Kristen: Who are you?
Teressa: Teressa Kavakos, Candidate for Mahwah Board of Education. I spent 7 years as an EMT in Mahwah. I am a member of CERT, so I have supported the residents of Mahwah on an ongoing basis prior to running for the school board. My hobby is breeding and showing my Welsh Springer Spaniels.
I welcome all questions and hope you will all watch the Mahwah Library's Meet the Candidates Night 2021 on Sept. 28th.
Kristen: Why are you running?
Teressa: To promote parental rights, increase opportunities for students to take vocational classes and to promote the traditional teachings of the “ABC's” in education.
The current School Board refuses to even consider in sending a letter to the govenor to protest the mask orders. We need a school board that represents the parents.
Kristen: What is your stance on parental choice for medical freedom in schools?
Teressa: I believe that parents should make all decisions regarding anything medical-related for their children.
Kristen: What is your favorite amendment?
Teressa: The First Amendment, as free speech is essential to preserve all our other rights and freedoms.
Kristen: Give me your best pitch on why and how we can support your campaign?
Teressa: I will advocate parents and students and oppose government mandates that impose restrictions on parent/guardian medical choices and rights.
