Terry Bernardo is proud to serve the residents of Sullivan County's District 9 with a commitment to integrity, transparency, and responsive leadership. As a longtime Sullivan County resident, she understands the importance of preserving the character of our communities while planning responsibly for the future.

A graduate of the University of Maryland with a degree in Finance and an MBA from Drexel University, Terry has built a career grounded in leadership, business, and public service.

Before entering public service, Terry owned and operated Skate Time 209 in Accord, New York, for nearly twenty years. The family-oriented roller skating rink and skateboard park became a destination for recreation, community events, and youth activities throughout the Hudson Valley, reflecting her passion for creating places where people could come together.

As a Sullivan County Legislator, Terry works collaboratively with fellow legislators, municipal leaders, local organizations, and community members to address challenges and identify opportunities that strengthen the county. She believes the best outcomes are achieved through open communication, thoughtful planning, and a shared commitment to serving the public.
