“…you are what we need in the Montana Senate.”
–Beth & Lynn Kaeding
“When I was diagnosed with cancer, my insurance company was unwilling to cover the recommended treatment. I contacted Kathleen, who was our representative in Helena at the time and she immediately came to my aid. With her perseverance, insurance companies changed their policies, not just for me, but for all cancer patients.”
–Paul Burns
"I can't imagine a better person than Kathleen to succeed me in Senate District 31; I only wish I had the opportunity to serve with her."
-Sen. Pat Flowers, 2025-26 Minority Leader
"I’ve known Kathleen for nearly 20 years, and throughout that time she has proven herself to be fair, dedicated, and deeply committed to serving the state she proudly calls home. I’ve always been impressed by her positivity, thoughtfulness, extensive experience, and her genuine drive to solve problems and bring people together. When elected, she will listen to and collaborate with all Montanans to address the challenges we face."
- Penelope Pierce

“I had a front-row seat to watch Kathleen's hard work and skill in the legislature. In our work together Kathleen was effective, thoughtful, energetic, and dedicated. She'll be exactly what Montana needs in the state Senate.”
–Sen. Dick Barrett
"Kathleen is tough and experienced. Her career has been centered not on partisanship and blame-placing, but bipartisanship and problem-solving. She's worked successfully, in the Legislature and through the Department of Agriculture to expand economic development, healthcare coverage, and conservation for Montanans. She'll be ready on day one to be a State Senator"
-Eli Steinberg, Development Director, National High School Democrats
“Kathleen Williams is remarkably effective in the complex and challenging work of the Montana Legislature. She brings experience, her good intellect, and a willingness to communicate across political lines with a grace that often makes the difference. I encourage you to support her election to Senate District 31.”
–Sen. Bob Hawks
“I have known Kathleen for 15 years and had the pleasure of serving with her in the Montana House. She is smart, honest, thoughtful, and effective, and her efforts gave us social benefit corporations and better care for cancer patients, to name just two. She is an advocate for Montana families, landscapes, and good governance. And she makes incredible salsa. I strongly endorse Kathleen for the Montana Senate.”
