Meet Cat

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. She also 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, 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—like school overcrowding, cost of living, emergency services, and protecting our rural way of life.
