COVER STORY
Welcome Kate!
We’re delighted to welcome Kate Kissane as our office’s new Outreach Coordinator!
Kate is a District 42 native and a former intern at our office, and she is really excited to be back working with the community she loves.
After graduating from Glenbard West, Kate went to the University of Nebraska, where she graduated in 2022 with high distinction. (She probably is too modest to mention that she was a Phi Beta Kappa….) She also was the 2021 Hartsell Scholar, an honor awarded by the Department of Political Science to a student interning in government, legislative, lobbying, or nonprofit experiences who wants to pursue a career in government or public policy.
With her degree in hand, Kate spent a couple of years working for the Nebraska Legislature before heading back home.
Now she’ll be planning events, handling constituent services, and generally working with Joe Giatras, my Chief of Staff, to make our office work even better for the people we serve. (That’s Kate in the photo, taken during our visit to the Morton Arboretum.)
