Kathy Kelker
for State Legislature: Senate District 24
A New Beginning
After four terms in the House of Representatives, I am termed out. Now I’m running for the Senate in the seat that Rep. Mary McNally has held. SD24 includes my previous district HD47 and HD48. During my four terms in the House, working closely with both Republican and Democratic colleagues, I have supported legislation that has made a difference for Montanans—Medicaid Expansion, inflationary increases for public education, greater scrutiny of child abuse cases, systematic infrastructure projects and much more.
