28 years teaching history and government, how democracy rises, falls, and how people make the difference.
Now it’s time to use my teacher voice in the halls of Congress.
History is watching and silence won’t do

Built my campaign website this weekend. Trial and error, late nights, and a few lost pages along the way. It isn’t perfect, but it’s real. I’ll keep improving it, hoping people see my heart and desire to serve. Like democracy, it can be messy but worth the fight.

This!
I realize my posts here are not-so-much about #Genealogy.

But this is a CRISIS in our beloved country and world.

Honoring my ancestors and family history by staying informed and involved is the right and most important thing to do, given this situation.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the “Come If You Can” CANpaign in Winnemucca.
Together we donated 116 lbs of food for the food bank, that’s community at its best. 💙

Thanks for the review @victoria_waddle. The book is a love letter to teachers and a warning about what happens when authoritarians undermine pluralism and opportunity for all via these attacks on public education.

Thank you Washoe Dems for a great discussion. I hear you when you say you want representation that stands up for Nevada and shows up to answer your questions and concerns. And that is exactly what I intended to do!
November 24, 2025 at 2:33 AM
Winnemucca, thank you for the conversation and for welcoming me into your community. From seniors in high school to seniors in the community, you brought honest questions and real concerns about the economy, access to affordable health care, protecting Social Security, and more.

Come if you can, CANPaign kicks off today in Reno. I'm excited to introduce myself, share my story and interview for the job of representing our district. I'm ready to listen, answer your questions and connect as a community. #StandUpForNevada

Thank you, North Washoe Dems, for the job interview. I appreciate the chance to introduce myself and share why I’m running to represent this district. I loved hearing your stories, answering your questions and feeling that sense of community in the room. I’m looking forward to doing it again soon.

Time to get big money out of politics. People shouldn’t need a bag of cash just to be able to compete for a job and they certainly shouldn’t be expected to “pay dues” once they get the job
I’ll work for the people not the machine!

Amid today’s chaos, cruelty & economic concerns, we need to envision a future in which people see that the American dream is achievable for them. That means policies that enable working people to support themselves and their families without constant struggle and anxiety. www.aft.org/column/affor...

This is about more than a campaign, it’s about coming together as a community to build the kind of country we want, not someday, but starting right now.
See you in Winnemucca!

Time to ramp up this CANpaign #StandUpForNevada

Great interview today with the Elko Broadcast Company.
Full conversation airing Monday at elkoradio.com.
What is at the heart of this campaign is simple, serving Nevada with honesty and purpose.

Gravity.
Not spotlight.
Gravity.
Not attention.
Responsibility.
Not performance.
Conscience.
I didn’t stand up for a title.
I stood up because the weight of this moment wouldn’t let me stay seated.
That’s gravity.

🧵On the Road With Kathy: Root Causes

Long day, long night, but the kind of night that reaffirms, that this is what I should be doing.
Once again I dug into the real issues Nevada is facing, from water and mining to tribal rights and rural towns that feel left behind.

Every single member of Congress who did NOT sign the discharge petition owes their constituents an explanation.

You don’t stay silent on crimes against kids. Not if you’re serious about accountability.

Rep Mark Amodei silence speaks volumes.
"That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files" -- Rep. Grijalva
November 13, 2025 at 2:53 AM
There are 435 members of Congress. It took 218 signatures to force a vote to release the Epstein files. Mark Amodei’s name wasn’t one of them. And of course we will never know his reasoning, because he won't hold a town hall to explain.
Nevada deserves leaders who don't run from sunshine.

I’ve read this book, it spoke to the heart of what I try to do in my classroom, teach students to think critically, ask questions and understand their role in a democracy. Thank you, Randi Weingarten, for reminding us that defending public education is at the heart of defending democracy itself.
Attacking public education is a classic authoritarian tactic because schools teach critical thinking and foster pluralism. In my new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers," I talk about what this fight for public education means for our democracy.

We are upset, like many, that the ACA tax credits are not restored in this “deal” to reopen the govt. But let’s be clear why: the Rs refused to budge as the hunger & aviation crises worsened. Let’s be clear who is hurting working families. The AFT will keep fighting www.aft.org/press-releas...
