Get StartedKatie believes the diversity of the rural and urban makeup of the 11th district is one of our greatest strengths. We can survive economic downturns and provide a variety of career options for all, particularly our youth. Katie and Zach have been fortunate through hard work and thrift to keep pursuing the American dream. But they also understand dreams can crash into dust and we must stand shoulder-to-shoulder to allow people to succeed and create opportunity. Learn more
Katie believes we can and must do better by providing better funding and developing forward-thinking policies to help our children perform better. Coming out of the pandemic, it's never been clearer that our education strategies and resources must improve for our children to learn and succeed. Learn more
Katie understands the value of strategic planning, awareness, and collaboration across industries. We continuously see closed door negotiations for rate increases in our district; for too many this is unsustainable. We must invest in zero and low-carbon technology to maintain a secure energy portfolio for generations to come. Learn more
Katie believes we must work to improve frayed relations with many of our allies while recognizing that regimes worldwide, including China, Russia and North Korea, threaten our safety, security, and economy. Through smart, strategic, and persistent diplomacy, America can, once again, lead the world. Learn more
In the short term, Katie will work to “stop the bleed” and provide immediate relief to many Americans by shoring up the coverage and subsidy gaps in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), zealously protecting Medicare and lowering the enrollment age to 55, and working to expand Medicaid coverage to our most vulnerable citizens. These are ways that we can get the most Americans’ coverage or improved coverage as quickly as possible. Learn more
Katie believes that the United States will move towards a public option for healthcare. Unraveling the corruption in corporatized healthcare staffing, services, and facilities is a long and hard road. In the meantime, we cannot afford to ignore where we can make an immediate impact. Katie will do everything possible to make the existing systems work for all Americans. Learn more
Two things that are no secret to 11th district residents: housing has become incredibly expensive and our workforce cannot continue working here without more housing solutions. Modern engineering and regulatory approaches have made quality, affordable housing – well - more affordable. State and federal agencies have a massive footprint in this area. Katie will use her engineering background to work with them to provide better, more affordable housing solutions. Learn more
Our existing infrastructure is in desperate need of attention. Katie’s work in infrastructure design for rural municipalities gives her a unique perspective to work with state and federal agencies to ensure Western North Carolina has the necessary resources to prosper. A robust infrastructure will help push our economy forward and strengthen our residents and small businesses. Learn more
