Bridget Anne Ziegler (née McGrath; born July 23, 1982)[1] is an American politician who is on the school board for Sarasota County, Florida.
She attended classes at two junior colleges and a state university,[3] but left to begin selling fashionable handbags and later, insurance.
[5] In June 2014, Governor Rick Scott appointed Ziegler to fill a vacancy on the Sarasota County School Board.
[9] Following the 2022 election, the Sarasota County School Board shifted from a 3–2 liberal-leaning majority to a 4–1 conservative super-majority and several controversies ensued.
[12] Ziegler has criticized Black Lives Matter "and how it was taught in schools", according to Bloomberg, "and she has promoted unscientific ideas around trends in trans youth".
[31] Additional details were revealed during examination of digital records and the investigation was turned over to the office of the State Attorney for review.
One record mentioned during the hearing by a clerk describing the public records, referred to a document in which Bridget crudely advised her husband not to return without success from a regular expedition to local bars with the intent to identify women they both would have interest in approaching to recruit as their threesome partners, texting: "don't come home until your dick is wet".
