Kate Crothers isn’t your typical political candidate. She’s a mother of four, a small business owner, and a passionate voice for real change in the Bay of Quinte. In this episode, we sit down with Kate to talk about what pushed her to run in one of the most important elections of our lifetime — and why she believes we need bold leadership that puts people first.

From the housing crisis to the rising cost of living, Kate shares how her life experience has shaped her political perspective, and how the NDP’s platform aligns with what she believes this region needs most. We explore the Queen Elizabeth School redevelopment in Picton, the impact of gentrification, and why she thinks diverse, income-inclusive communities are the key to a stronger future.
