Sally Hebert, former clerk to Dorchester County Council, filed today to run as a Democrat, seeking to flip state House District 94, which is currently represented by Republican Rep. Gil Gatch.
“The issues working families care about are being ignored by Rep. Gil Gatch,” Hebert said. “Instead, our representative is part of the lawyer-legislator class of politicians, cashing in on public service by keeping bad guys out of court and out of jail.”
“Culture wars and corruption are keeping Columbia from improving infrastructure, expanding access to health care and fully funding our public schools across the state,” Hebert added. “I invite reasonable people across District 94 to vote for me, whether you are a Democrat, Republican or independent.”
Hebert graduated in 1991 from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, with a bachelor’s degree in political science. She began her career as a newspaper reporter, covering local government and business.
She moved to Charleston in 1995 and served as the last civilian deputy public affairs officer for COMNAVBASE Charleston. She moved to Summerville in 1999 after marrying her husband, Kurt. They have one adult son, Andrew.
Hebert worked for Dorchester County Council from 2011 to 2016 and currently works as a substitute teacher in Dorchester School District Two.
“I believe my professional and family experiences have prepared me to fight for District 94 residents in the Legislature,” Hebert said. “If elected, I won’t monetize my public service to build a law practice or become distracted by culture wars.”
House District 94 is located primarily in Dorchester County, with a portion in neighboring Charleston County.
