Cat Carter’s journey began as a parent advocate, fighting for her son to get the support he needed in school. That fight grew into a mission—leading to a national memorandum requiring schools to recognize and accommodate certain vision-related disabilities, helping students across the country.
But she didn't stop there. For over ten years, she has tirelessly worked to help people who reached out and asked for her help. She helped pass the Atticus Act, pushed for stronger school safety laws, expanded access to healthcare, and worked with Congress to improve care for soldiers with traumatic brain injuries.
Raised by Army parents and grounded in service, Cat became a trusted community leader, small tech business owner, Consumer Member on the Maryland Board of Optometry, Glenwood Lions Club member, and PTA Council President. Now she’s running for County Council to bring that same determination and results-driven approach to the issues that matter—funding our schools and emergency services, improving affordability by living within our revenue, and protecting our rural way of life.
