Kathy Durham

Kathy Durham has spent the last 26 years teaching government, history, and economics at West Wendover High School. When her community needed leadership, Kathy ran for and was elected to the West Wendover City Council.

She made the decision to run for Congress because the principles of Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances and the Rule of Law that she teaches her students in not what is going on in Congress, and too many of the dark chapters that she teaches in history are playing out in communes all across the nation.

She’s sick and tired of billionaires and the Epstein Class rewriting the rules for themselves while working families struggle

In Congress she will fight to restore funding to Medicaid that was cut to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy, and to expand Medicare for all: no copays, no premiums, no out of pocket expenses. Guaranteed care for every person. Everybody in, nobody out.

She’s running to put an end to reckless and endless foreign wars that nobody voted for. She’s running to protect and safeguard our public lands for future generations to come. She’s running to stop Wall Street from buying up all our homes and driving up the rents. She’s running to lower the cost of living and help you afford gas in your tank, a roof over your head, and food on your table.

She’s running to preserve democracy and the hold current administration accountable for their corruption. She’s running to bring a teacher’s voice to the halls of Congress and some classroom management to the House floor.

Call it progressivism or call it economic populism. Kathy just calls it common sense.

She’s not a career politician. She’s not a millionaire. She’s not an opportunist who only got into this race when Mark Amodei got out. She’s just a regular person like you. Don’t you think it’s time to send a civics teacher to Washington to show our politicians how to make our government work for working families? How to make it work for you?
