SENATE
VOTE 1
Hi, I’m Katie
I make no secret of what drives me - I want a better future for all of us.
I am putting my hand up to run for the Senate because community connection matters.
With a solid public profile and strong experience in representing the Greens, I have the respect of party members across the country and strong relationships with many organisations. Having led the largest lower house campaign in SA, I am no stranger to the Greens movement or fighting for people and planet. I’ve spent years speaking up against the major parties for serving their corporate donors instead of tackling the problems people face, and I am as ready as ever to take that fight into the Australian Parliament.
I have the determination, tenacity, and the proven track record of shifting the political dial with large swings towards the Greens in many of my previous campaigns. I offer a unique bled of experience across parliament and movement building to Greens members in South Australia.
If you share my vision for a better South Australia, vote for me as your Greens candidate for the Senate.

Previous Candidacies
NORWOOD - STATE ELECTION 2010
STURT - FEDERAL ELECTION 2022
In 2022, we secured a 5.2% swing to the Greens. Prior to the Greens’ targeting lower house seats in South Australia, we didn’t have many resources from state office. As the candidate, I organised doorknocks, letterboxing, and corflute installation with a small team of legends from my house. This was a real turning point for us here in Sturt and this amazing grassroots campaign was the catalyst for bigger things to come in 2025 and into the future!
DUNSTAN - STATE BY-ELECTION 2024
In 2024, we saw a historic swing of 5.5% swing towards the Greens and an overall primary vote of 19.2%.
STURT - FEDERAL ELECTION 2025
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL - STATE ELECTION 2026
In 2025, because of all of our amazing work together in Sturt in 2022 and in the Dunstan by-election in 2024 - thousands of Greens SA volunteers were able to tell my local community in Sturt that if just 1 in 10 people changed their voters, we could win in Sturt.
Unfortunately, we fell short, but together we made history and ran the Greens SA’s biggest grassroots campaign yet!
Together we:
Knocked on over 30,000 doors
Letterboxed xTIMES to the whole electorate
Made over 5000 phone calls to both supporters and voters
Had 520 corflutes installed on fences
Over 400 people volunteered on a polling booth
In 2026, we made history AGAIN for the Greens SA with the highest ever vote across South Australia and had over 3000 volunteers involved in every corner of the state. Campaigning for the Legislative Council was such an amazing experience because I got to work with so many of our members and volunteers across the state and all of the different branches.
A highlight of this campaign for me was engaging and helping to grow the broader Greens movement. It was incredibly rewarding and strengthened my resolve to continue representing the people of this state.

I am looking forward to talking to Greens members about our shared passions and vision for the future. Please get in touch if you have any questions or want to discuss my candidacy further.
