Can Kate McLaughlin count on you?

Ad copy

Hi I’m Kate McLaughlin. I’m a former business owner in the restaurant industry, who has had various jobs in non profits, from home health aide, victim advocate to operations specialist. My experience is in serving people. I am running for Montana House District 9 because I believe in public service. This campaign is powered by people like you, who care about keeping our Medicaid expansion program for our elder and disabled community members, who want justice for women in children and believe in adhering to our MT constitution. If you can, chip in $25 today.
