The New Politics Podcast Episode 26: Kathryn York

Kathryn York is a Teach for America alum who entered the arena in 2019 to run for a State Representative seat in Mississippi.  She lost that race but jumped right back onto the campaign trail to run for school board in 2020;  that time she won. 

In this episode, Kathryn talks about her lifelong commitment to service, her experiences teaching in rural Mississippi and then later in London, England, and why she got into politics.  She discusses her experiences campaigning as a Democrat in a red district in Mississippi and explains how she involved her young children in her campaign travels.  She also describes how she is making a difference as a member of the Water Valley, Mississippi School Board. 

Kathryn is an amazing servant leader and we are thrilled to lift up her voice on this episode!
