| Katherine grew up having dinner every Sunday with her grandmother, a World War II factory floor worker who was a real-life Rosie the Riveter. Around that kitchen table is where she saw the power of public service and stepping up to commit to something larger than yourself.
It was that spirit that prompted Katherine to first run for School Committee in her hometown of Melrose and eventually, for Congress. She saw the issues facing women, children, and families and was determined to build a stronger and more just country where every person has a fair shot at success.
Katherine has carried that vision through every position she's held. She is a consensus builder among her constituents and colleagues, who elected her Democratic Whip of the House in 2022. Now, Katherine uses her position in leadership to help advocate for families nationwide - recognizing that when families are successful, America is successful. |
