After the latest results were provided on Friday afternoon, Nov. 15 by the Contra Costa County Elections office, candidate for Antioch School Board Area 3 Trustee Scott Bergerhouse conceded to and congratulated his opponent, Dee Brown and thanked those who voted for him.

In a post on his campaign Facebook page on Sunday, Nov. 17, which he added to later, the former district administrator, high school principal and first-time candidate wrote, “Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign, showed up to events, volunteered, and cast your vote. Although the results were not what we hoped for, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to connect with our community and share a vision for putting students first.

I want to congratulate Dee Brown and Olga Comos-Smith and offer my best wishes as they step into this role. Our schools, students and families deserve a strong advocate, and I am hopeful for the future of our district.

Thank you again for your support, encouragement, and commitment to our schools. This journey may be ending, but my dedication to our community and to the success of every student in Antioch remains as strong as ever.”
