Issue Position: Ethics

Issue Position

Kathleen has worked hard to make sure that elected officials are held to the highest ethical standards. Kathleen voted for historic ethics reforms that strengthened the prohibition on former legislators becoming lobbyists and gave the Commission on Ethics greater authority to punish those that abuse the public's trust (2013, SB 2). During the 2017 Legislative Session, Kathleen served as chair of the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee, and she continues to be dedicated to ensuring elected officials are accountable to us, not special interests.
