Meet Kate
Kate McLaughlin - HD9 - McLaughlin For Montana
Raised in rural Vermont, with 8 siblings, Kate learned early what it means to stretch a dollar, care for family, and be a part of a community that helps one another.
Kate moved to Kila, Montana in 2001 and lived in a remote off grid log cabin. That journey, from poverty to stability, shaped her belief that no one who works hard should be left behind.
Kate spent years in service work—jobs that required resilience, empathy, and grit—before building a small business with her husband.
Kate is a musician, a creator, a wife, the mother of three sons and the grandmother of a fourth generation Montanan.
