With roots in the middleclass, Katie has been a consistent champion for hardworking families, for job creation, and for the environment. Her election will be a gamechanger for the state of Pennsylvania, which no woman has ever represented in the Senate. Katie has spent her more than 25 years in public service, including chairing the White House Council on Environmental Quality, which no woman had ever led, leading the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and until recently, she served as Governor Tom Wolf’s chief of staff. Her campaign is key to Democrats’ chances of winning back the Senate from the Republicans.
