Expand all | Collapse all

Kazmarski was born and raised in South Carolina and now resides on Lake Greenwood. She is a Christian and active member of Rosemont Baptist Church in Waterloo, SC. She is married to Sheldon Kazmarski and the couple have three children. As a lifelong Conservative Republican, Kazmarski has always supported the Republican platform and candidates, but it wasn't until she started supporting President Trump in 2015 that she began to see the corruption at the national and state level. She started getting involved in grassroots activism in 2019 and made a lot of great connections across the state, but also learned much more about the importance of local politics having a national impact. We can't fix Washington until we fix Columbia. South Carolinians are disenchanted with our do nothing "RINO" Republican legislature and expect much more out of the Republicans in the General Assembly. We can no longer be considered "the most liberal red state in the union," it is unacceptable. We aren't getting the representation we need and deserve, so Kazmarski has decided to step up to lead the way in the state house next year. We need Republicans who can hang tough, not cave to the establishment, and fight for our conservative values. Cole is a firebrand and she will work to make South Carolina the freest state in the union!
  • Kazmarski is ready to restore election integrity and push for full forensic audits throughout the state of South Carolina so that we can be confident about our election process. We are now in 2022 and our legislature has still not passed an election integrity bill when it is a top issue for conservative voters. Why? No more excuses! Cole was just one of two South Carolinians who flew to Arizona in June 2021 to understand the Maricopa County Audit, tour the audit floor, and to try to bring that process back to SC. The State Election Commission would not listen to a private citizen making the demand, they will not be able to ignore Representative Kazmarski making the demand for election integrity.
  • Kazmarski will push for tax reform and smaller government.
  • Kazmarski will fight to restore our stolen liberties and pushback against federal overreach.
Cole Kazmarski will not sit on the sidelines and watch our country and beloved state be stolen from us by godless communists and RINO Republicans who don't have a backbone. How are we not able to get conservative bills passed to advance the Republican Platform when we have a supposed super majority in the state General Assembly? Why are we kowtowing to the left? Why are we considered the "most liberal red state in the union?" We don't want to hear any more excuses to those questions! It's time to send a firebrand like Cole Kazmarski to the state house.
