Some people call me "mom".

Some people call me "Katherine".

Now you can call me "candidate"!

With almost three times as many signatures as needed for the nominating petition, I am on the ballot! Thank you to everyone who has opened their homes to my two smallest campaign volunteers and I. We appreciate your generosity, hospitality and friendship!


Now, the work has just begun. Are you interested in being involved?

Can you chip in? Every dollar helps.

This is an uphill battle. Running as a Democrat in a rural red county won’t be easy — but meaningful change never is. I’m in this race to win it, and with your support, we can build a campaign strong enough to compete, connect, and turn out voters across District 8.


If you believe Valencia County deserves leadership that listens, fights, and delivers — I’m asking you to chip in today. Together, we can make District 8 a true Voice for Valencia County.
