NEWS RELEASE
KITTY SARGENT
*************************
Kitty Sargent has announced she will throw her hat into the ring to be selected as the Representative for House District 12, which covers portions of Boulder, Broomfield, Lafayette, Louisville, Niwot and Superior.
Currently in her second term on the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education, Sargent has helped lead the district through a global pandemic, a mass shootout and the Marshall Fire. She has served as treasurer on the board, and has been a tireless advocate for students, especially when it comes to safety issues.
“I have always been a champion for children and I believe the best investment the state can make is in its children,” Sargent said.
Sargent, a former teacher and social worker, is retired.
Except for a brief stint working as a stockbroker, she has devoted her career to children.
She taught school in Arizona and Colorado and, after earning her masters in social work, worked at Blue Sky Bridge as the director of education and prevention. After that she continued teaching classes in mandatory reporting and child abuse prevention.
“In the legislature I will fight to fully fund education, protect children from gun violence, and to make sure every child has a safe home and enough to eat,” Sargent said.
