As a native Montanan from Dillon, I have spent more than 30 years of my life living in this beautiful state and almost a decade in the Flathead Valley. I've gone from renting in Section 8 housing as a college student in Missoula to buying a first house in 2018. I've gone from working retail for $6/h to being a stay-at-home mom of three kids with a steady family income and a side photography business. I have experienced a lot of different lives in this wonderful state.
I know how important it is to be able to find work, be able to afford housing, and not get crippled by property taxes and medical bills. I know how essential quality education and accessible healthcare are for my family. I have experienced the peace that our natural landscape provides, regardless of one's income.
I want to make sure every Montanan has these things: fully-funded schools with adequately paid educators, access to quality healthcare, ability to buy or rent without feeling "house poor," and full use of the public lands we all love so much. At the same time, I want to work on state funding issues to make sure we can balance our state budget while providing these services.
Most importantly, I want to bridge the gap between moderate sides of the political divide. We need bipartisan cooperation right now more than ever — where all District 10 voters and Montanans feel heard and valued. We are neighbors first, and we can't forget that.
Everything I do for this campaign comes back to one thing: keeping Montana great for our kids and future generations. They deserve quality education, affordable housing, clean water, access to our beautiful lands, adequate healthcare, and accountable government.
Catherine is woven into the Flathead community, from singing in the Glacier Chorale and supporting local non-profits to photographing resident professionals and families. When she's not doing these things, she's probably shuttling her kids around town for activities.
I want to hear from you. I want to know what your top concerns are and what changes you want. If I don't know the answer to a question, I will research and get back to you. I will listen and learn.
Every vote will be for the people of District 10 and our valley at large. I answer to the people, not party politics.
This campaign is funded by neighbors, not corporations. I'll fight to keep outside money out of Montana elections.
