Meet Kate
-
I am a mother of two, a resilient Gen Xer with grit, and a lifelong Kentuckian. I believe in hard work, financial responsibility, kindness, and community service.
-
I grew up in a Catholic Republican family, but I learned to think for myself and challenge the status quo. I graduated 1st in my class from Sullivan University, after attending both Catholic and public schools in Louisville.
-
I started my career at the Louisville Water Company as a union laborer, and worked my way up to Operations Manager. I know how to bridge gaps between unions, non-unions, executive leadership, and frontline workers to drive improvements and cost savings.
-
I have a proven track record of delivering results. I led a comprehensive departmental review at the request of Mayor Greg Fischer, identifying opportunities for improvement within government departments. I also helped pass legislation to enhance literacy in Kentucky, such as the Read to Succeed Act (2022) and SB156 (2023).
-
I am passionate about giving back to my community. I volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, coached rec. league soccer, and support animal services and the LiveSTRONG program at the YMCA.
-
I bring extensive experience as a business leader, project manager, and investor. I am results-oriented and driven, with a no-nonsense approach. I am a skilled collaborator, facilitator, and unifier. I am a strong advocate for women and children.
Kate's Work in the Community
LITERACY - Kate is a passionate advocate for literacy in Kentucky. She led a grassroots movement of parents and students to push for the Read to Succeed Act, a landmark legislation that aims to improve reading outcomes for all children. Kate and her team from Kentucky Reading Reform collaborated with lawmakers from both parties to secure the unanimous passage of SB156, which strengthened the Read to Succeed Act in 2023. Kate personally met with a number of State Senators and Representatives in Frankfort to persuade them of the importance of literacy for Kentucky’s future.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING - Kate has a passion for helping people achieve their dreams of owning a home. She has been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity since she was in her 20s, building affordable housing for low-income families in Louisville and beyond. She has also participated in the annual homeless count, witnessing firsthand the challenges and needs of the homeless population in our city. Kate believes that home ownership and access to affordable housing have many positive outcomes for our community, such as reducing poverty, improving health, increasing education, and fostering social cohesion. As your representative, Kate will work hard to ensure that everyone has a safe and decent place to call home.
