Meet Kathleen

My name is Kathleen Hornby and I’m a pro-choice Democrat running to be the next State Representative for the 27th Middlesex District in Somerville.

I'm a former legislative staffer with nearly a decade of experience on Beacon Hill, a year-round cyclist and regular MBTA rider, a member of and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, and a parent with two young children in the Somerville Public Schools. I’m running for State Representative to continue fighting for issues like housing stability, reproductive justice, and climate action – not because they’re part of a progressive policy platform but because that’s how we address the needs of residents who are struggling or in crisis.

I will fight to ensure that you can afford to live in Somerville, raise your kids in Somerville, and grow old in Somerville; that we address public health crises like substance use, adolescent mental health, and maternal health; that we have a safe and reliable public transportation system; that workers are getting the pay, benefits, and training that they deserve; that we continue to lead in addressing climate change and making progress towards climate resilience; and that we bring back state funding to invest directly in our community. I am also committed to being a resource for you as you navigate state agencies and services.

I am making the priorities and concerns of our community the heart of this campaign. Please let me know what you want from your next State Representative. You can reach me at [email protected], at 617-398-7125, or just share your thoughts when I knock at your door.
