ENDORSEMENTS

Brenda Zahner, Ed. S.
ISEA Regional Director
Bernie Scolaro has been an unwavering and energetic advocate for students, families, and educators. She listens thoughtfully, asks the right questions, and works tirelessly to ensure that she makes informed decisions. Bernie is collaborative, yet decisive, and unbelievably passionate about public education.

Dan Greenwell
Former School Board President
She was trusted as a thoughtful, logical and experienced board member. Her view was
always focused on the best outcome for students and staff. She broadened the
perspective of the board and brought solid, practical solutions to solve challenges. She
was respected by all board members and citizens. She has an uncanny ability to unite
folks with different perspectives. An excellent choice for South Carolina!

Monique E. Scarlett
President, Sioux City NAACP
I proudly endorse Bernie Scolaro for the South Carolina House of Representatives because I have seen firsthand her professionalism, dedication, and deep commitment to education and civil rights. Having worked with her for years as both a high school counselor and a fellow board member, I know she brings strong leadership, clear communication, and the courage to stand up for equality and justice. I am confident she will be an effective representative who works hard and delivers real results for the people of South Carolina.

J.D. Scholten
Iowa State Representative
I have a ton of respect for Bernie. She’s been a passionate advocate for many things, especially public education. I’m proud to endorse her knowing that she’s the type of leader I’d want to be represented by.

Tim Kacena
Former Iowa House Representative
I first met Bernie in 2016 while running for the Iowa House. As a 33 year member of IAFF local 7 and past president we immediately shared the belief that all workers deserve to be treated fair and equal. The rights of Americans citizens need to be respected and protected from those that don’t believe all Citizens are equal and no one is above the law. As your representative I truly believe Bernie will listen and legislate for all the citizens in S.C. House 118. Retired 33 Year Fire lieutenant.

Honorable Matthew O'Kane
Ret. City Council Member for the City of Sioux City
I fully, and unequivocally, wholeheartedly endorse Bernie Scalaro for her bid for the office of House of Representatives for the great state of South Carolina, and have no doubt that if elected she will be a reliable, strong advocate for the people. She has proven leadership and works tirelessly for the people she’s chosen to represent.
