Hi, I’m Katie

I was born, raised, and continue to live in the suburbs of eastern Adelaide. One of my first jobs was pouring drinks at the Kensington Districts Cricket Club! Now I’m raising my beautiful son here as well.

I’ve dedicated my life to fighting for our community, and have worked as a renters advocate and public health administrator. I’ve seen first hand the impact that the cost of living crisis is having in our area.

As someone who cares deeply about our community, it’s devastating to see how many people are struggling to make ends meet. Instead of tackling the problems people face, both Labor and the Liberals are serving their corporate donors and allowing them to make massive profits at the expense of people.

But I have hope. Having spent my life here, I have a deep belief that our community will come together to change the future for the better.

Change is possible. Sturt is one of the most winnable seats for the Greens in the nation. If just 1 in 10 people change their vote at the next election, the Greens will win Sturt.

Change is already happening. I ran for Sturt last election and the Greens vote reached new heights. I then ran in the Dunstan by-election, a state electorate that overlaps with Sturt, and again the Greens vote was unprecedented. We have worked hard to get to this moment.

But I didn’t do it alone. Far from it! I was supported by hundreds of passionate Greens volunteers. Our messages were amplified by conversations at people’s doors, corflutes on fences, and flyers in letterboxes.

I will continue to advocate for renters and stressed mortgage holders, take on the big supermarkets and end price gouging, push for an end to new coal and gas projects, and make the big corporations pay their fair share of tax, so we can use that money to fund world class health and education.

We are already building a huge people powered campaign in Sturt. Can you sign up to volunteer with us?

The major parties are funded by big corporations, but we are backed by people. If you’re able, please chip in.

And finally, if you want change, the first step is voting for someone who will fight for you.

I hope I can count on your vote.
