ABOUT
Kathy Edmonston proudly serves as the State Representative for House District 88 in Louisiana, where she brings a lifetime of service, a heart for families, and a firm commitment to conservative values.
A resident of Ascension Parish for over 40 years, Kathy is a devoted mother of four and a proud grandmother. She earned her bachelor’s degree in English from Louisiana State University and spent 22 years serving local families as a family resource facilitator in the Ascension Parish school system. Throughout her career, she worked in every public school in the parish, building deep connections with students, parents, and educators alike. Her dedication to Louisiana’s children also led her to serve on the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE), where she fought to defend academic excellence and protect parental rights.
Kathy’s experiences as a mother, grandmother, and children’s advocate have shaped her commitment to putting Louisiana families first. In the State House, she has been a strong voice for school choice, believing parents—not bureaucrats—should decide what’s best for their children’s education. Her focus, however, extends far beyond education.
Kathy is working to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing Louisiana today. She is leading the charge to eliminate the state income tax, giving working families a break and making the state more competitive for job creation and investment. She is also confronting Louisiana’s insurance crisis head-on, pushing for reforms that bring relief to homeowners and drivers burdened by sky-high premiums.
As a champion for energy independence, Kathy stands firmly behind Louisiana’s oil and gas industry. She supports policies that grow local jobs and lower energy costs, and she opposes dangerous and unproven projects like carbon sequestration, which put property rights and environmental safety at risk.
Kathy is also a steadfast defender of the Second Amendment, supporting Constitutional Carry and working to ensure that law-abiding citizens always have the right to protect themselves and their families.
Since first taking office in 2020, Kathy Edmonston has been a bold, consistent voice for freedom, faith, and family. Her record reflects not only what she believes—but how hard she’s willing to fight for the people of District 88. With integrity, determination, and deep roots in the community, Kathy continues to serve with one mission in mind: to protect the values that make Louisiana strong.
