Get StartedWe owe our veterans and military personnel a debt we cannot easily repay. That is why Kate launched a public information campaign with the Burlington County Department of Veterans Services and County Clerk to educate veterans about a new $3,000 state income tax exemption available to them. She also organized an inaugural Burlington County Veterans Expo and helped local veterans receive over $18 million in well-deserved benefits each year as Freeholder. Learn more
As Freeholder, Kate expanded single-stream recycling and routinely hosted free shredding events across the county. She understands that the climate is changing and will work closely with elected officials, environmentalists, and business leaders in Ocean County to protect Barnegat Bay, confront more frequent flooding and beach erosion, and to protect shore area residents and business owners, as well as the multi-billion dollar tourism industry that is the area’s economic lifeblood.

She also believes that government can play a role in reducing gun violence without unduly infringing on that right and took action to do just that. Kate launched a $20 million School Security Grant Program that provided funding to all public high schools in Burlington County to enhance security and keep students and teachers safe. Learn more
She believes in strengthening background checks to ensure guns don't fall into the hands of criminals or the mentally unstable, and she organized a successful gun buyback program with the Burlington County Sheriff’s Office for people who wanted to voluntarily trade-in their firearms to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

A nation cannot exist without secure borders. That’s why Kate supports enhanced border security, including physical barriers where necessary. She also supports providing a tough, but fair path to citizenship for children who were brought to this country illegally and offering citizenship to foreign-born college students educated in the U.S. upon graduation.

She managed the modernization of the County’s 9-1-1 and emergency services telecom system, giving first responders access to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art radio system. Statewide, Kate championed legislation to create a stable, recurring source of revenue to fund road and bridge repair, while blocking politicians from raiding the Transportation Trust Fund and treating it as their own piggy bank.

As a County Freeholder, Kate cut property taxes every year in office, improved the county’s bond rating, and crafted a bipartisan county budget that spent fewer dollars per person than any other county in the state. She did all this while investing more in education, public safety, open space, infrastructure and workforce development. Learn more
Moreover, Kate will fight to reverse years of failure by New Jersey politicians in both parties, and get our state’s fair share from the federal government. It is unacceptable that New Jersey consistently ranks at or near the bottom when it comes to how many federal dollars we receive compared to what our taxpayers send to Washington, D.C. Learn more
