Scarnati Endorses Gern, Not Rapp

State Senator Joe Scarnati is endorsing Kerry Gern for State Representative in the 65th District. Gern is running against incumbent State Representative Kathy Rapp. Scarnati says Rapp has not worked with business groups and civic leaders throughout the state, which has placed this area at a competitive disadvantage. Rapp tells WESB and The HERO she's not surprised by Scarnati's endorsement of Gern because she has voted against the senator on many key issues including the pay raise and tolling of Interstate 80. She adds that she never had Scarnati's support before, so she doesn't need it now.
