Kathryn Haines grew up in a military family, and later joined the Peace Corps. Afterward, she received a graduate degree in Urban Planning and Policy. She now lives in Chesterfield with her four children.
Haines is concerned about equity within school transportation, and wants to extend bus routes to every student. She says that in order for the Midlothian community to work well together, there has to be communication and trust along all socio-economic and racial lines. Haines and her opponent, Patrick Regan, have some similar platform points. However, when it comes to communication, Regan holds all stakeholders equally, as opposed to just those that are affected.
Haines is a believer in the importance of civic engagement and is committed to listening to the community’s needs. She has stated she wants to increase teacher salaries and reduce the emphasis on testing. On the other hand, Regan asserts that income and hours do not contribute to teachers leaving the school district. He speaks against “throwing money at the problem,” and suggests cutting the already scant public education budget to protect resident tax money. Haines has been endorsed by the Chesterfield Democratic Committee.
Haines is the more progressive choice for this race.Last updated: 2023-04-05Kathryn Haines
