From the Neighborhood
to City Hall.
Katie has been showing up for Jacksonville families for years: from school board to city council meetings, the state capitol, and across Duval. Now she's bringing that same commitment to City Council.

Four Priorities.
One City.
Katie isn't running on talking points. She's running on years of showing up — at the school board, in the community, at the state capitol — for every Jacksonville family.
Safe Communities
Jacksonville leads Florida in preventable child shootings. Real safety means safe gun storage, funded schools, and neighborhoods where families can thrive without fear.
Strong Public Schools
As a Duval County public school parent and advocate, Katie has fought against book bans, charter land grabs, and the diversion of public dollars away from our kids.
Neighborhoods That Work
From flooding to roads to parks, Katie will fight for every neighborhood in Duval County — not just the ones that have always had a seat at the table.
Accountable Leadership
Jacksonville City Council needs people who will serve all 950,000 residents — with transparency, with courage, and with the community knowledge that comes from actually showing up.
Families First
As a Jacksonville Beach mom raising kids in Duval County schools, Katie understands the everyday issues families face — because she's living them right alongside you.
Protecting Our Coast
Jacksonville's beaches and waterways are our greatest asset and our most vulnerable. Katie will fight for smart growth, flood mitigation, and a St. Johns River we can be proud of.
“For years, I have been walking the walk. Now I’m running to lead.”

From the Neighborhood to City Hall
Katie has been showing up for Jacksonville families for years: from school board to city council meetings, the state capitol, and across Duval. Now she’s bringing that same commitment to City Council.
“For years, I have been walking the walk.
Now I’m running to be a voice for our community.”
Why I’m Running
I’m running because I’m a mom who cares deeply about our city and believes we can make it better for the next generation. I’m raising fifth-generation Jacksonvillians, and I want my children – and all of our families – to have the opportunity to build their lives right here at home.
In today’s political climate, too many people feel disconnected and unheard. I’m running to make sure the voices, needs, and priorities of our community are reflected in the decisions shaping Jacksonville’s future.
I’ve been showing up for this community for years – advocating for our schools, safer communities, supporting families, and standing alongside neighbors when it matters most. Now, I’m ready to take that work to City Council.
She's Been Here All Along.
I didn't get into this because politics seemed fun. I got in because the issues affecting Jacksonville families — gun violence, book bans, crumbling infrastructure — are too important to leave to someone who hasn't been paying attention.
Jacksonville Needs You
on Team Katie.
Whether you can give $25, knock a hundred doors or just tell one neighbor — every single action moves the needle. This campaign runs on people, not machines.
