“Kathy has spoken out against Congress and the Bush Administration’s significant cuts to student funding for college.  Kathy tends to the needs of the daily lives of her neighbors, even students, like me, who don’t often even show up at the polls.  She has worked to raise awareness of the impact of these cuts on working class and poor families and their dreams for their children.  Kathy’s work at the local level shows that she understands the importance of giving communities the funds they need to meet high standards and also the importance of making college an option for all high school graduates.” Jill Mitchell, USF Student
