Kate Stein
Democrat
About this candidate

From katesteind18.com:Like most of us, I have worked to support myself and a family. I have worked in entry-level and service jobs, in corporate America and the public sector, as a bookseller and a consultant. I have also done the work that holds communities together—as a soccer coach and a volunteer, a policy advocate and a grassroots organizer, and as a caregiver. Mine is an ordinary life of work, family, community. Finding dignity in work, creating stability through a loving family, and working to build a community in which everyone can thrive. I am running on this ordinary life of work and family. I know what it takes to move ideas into law. Now I'm asking for a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates to do more.

Seat: 18
