<h2>A Neighbor You Can Trust</h2>I’m not a career politician. I’m a teacher, a wife, a community leader, and your neighbor. I’ve seen how families struggle when systems fail them, and I’ve seen how powerful it is when communities come together to lift each other up.I’m running to make sure every person in our district—no matter their background, income, or party—has a voice that matters in Columbia. Because when we all have a seat at the table, our community grows stronger.

Katie Crosby is running to build stability, create opportunity, and deliver practical solutions for families in the community. From safer roads and smart growth to strong schools and healthy families, her focus is on listening to real concerns and getting real results — not playing political games.

Page Intro

<h2>Rooted in Education and Service</h2>Education has always been at the center of my life. As a Levine Scholar at UNC Charlotte, I earned a dual degree in Elementary and Special Education, where I saw firsthand the disparities in our public schools. Teaching in a Title I school showed me how much harder some students have to work just to access the same opportunities, and how much our teachers sacrifice every day to make it happen.My passion for service grew from those experiences. I worked with the Urban Ministry Center (now Roof Above), supporting unhoused neighbors and training volunteers. Later, I taught in Peru and South Africa, where I learned how deeply access to education shapes the future of families and communities.After several years in the classroom, I moved to South Carolina in 2019 with my husband and shifted into real estate—but my mission didn’t change. I wanted to keep helping families find stability, safety, and opportunity. A secure home is the first building block for a child’s education and a family’s success.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">“Representation doesn’t end on Election Day. It’s about showing up, listening, even when we disagree, and putting people over party, people over politics, and people over pockets.”</h4>

My story starts in Kannapolis, North Carolina - a former mill town that changed forever when the local textile mill shut down. My dad lost his job, and my mom started a small business to help keep our family going. Watching them adapt and rebuild taught me that communities are strongest when we look out for one another, and that resilience, empathy, and hard work can get us through anything.

Priorities List

This time, I’m running from experience. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. I know that campaigns shouldn’t just be about yard signs and slogans; they should be about conversations and connections.That’s why I’m focused on meeting people where they are, not expecting them to come to me. I’ll keep knocking on doors year-round, hosting coffee chats and town halls, and sharing regular newsletters so people know what’s happening in Columbia and how it affects their lives.

<h2>My Priorities</h2>

I’m fighting to make life more affordable for working families — with fair wages, support for small businesses, and an economy that works for the people who live here, not just corporations.

<h2>Building Stability. Creating Opportunity.</h2>

I believe healthcare should be affordable, accessible, and private. I’ll fight to protect reproductive freedom, lower costs, expand access to care, and make sure families can get the help they need close to home.

<h2>Healthy Families. Strong Communities.</h2>

I’m committed to fully funding our public schools, paying teachers like the professionals they are, and keeping politics out of the classroom so every child can succeed.

<h2>Strong Schools. Bright Futures.</h2>

I am fighting for safer roads, smarter growth, and accountable infrastructure planning that protects families, supports emergency response, and improves quality of life.

<h2>Smart Growth. Safe Roads.</h2>

Healthy families are the foundation of strong communities. But across District 44, families are struggling to afford care, find providers, and get timely help when they need it most.Katie Crosby believes healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and private, and she’s running to make sure every family in our community can get the care they deserve, close to home.<h4>Healthcare Families Can Afford and Access</h4>Healthcare costs are one of the biggest pressures on family budgets. Rising premiums, high deductibles, and prescription prices force families to make impossible choices, delaying care or skipping it altogether.Katie believes healthcare is a basic need, not a luxury. Families shouldn’t have to drive across state lines to see a doctor, wait months for appointments, or fight insurance companies just to get care covered.She will fight to:<ul><li>Lower premiums, copays, and out-of-pocket costs</li><li>Cap the cost of life-saving medications like insulin</li><li>Protect coverage for people with pre-existing conditions</li><li>Increase transparency so families know what care actually costs</li></ul>Healthcare should work for patients, not just insurance companies.<h4>Expanding Access Through Medicaid and Community Care</h4>South Carolina ranks near the bottom nationally for access to primary care, and too many families in District 44 fall into the gap, earning too much to qualify for help, but not enough to afford coverage.Katie supports expanding Medicaid to:<ul><li>Cover working families, veterans, seniors, and new parents</li><li>Protect rural hospitals and local providers</li><li>Reduce emergency-room backlogs and long wait times</li><li>Keep families from driving hours for basic treatment</li></ul>She will also invest in free clinics and community healthcare programs that provide preventative care and save lives.<h4>Women’s Healthcare Is Healthcare</h4>Women in District 44 deserve access to real healthcare, yet there isn’t a single OB-GYN serving this district. That means women are forced to travel out of the district and sometimes cross state lines for prenatal care, cancer screenings, contraception, and reproductive healthcare.Katie believes:<ul><li>Medical decisions belong to women and their doctors, not politicians</li><li>Access to abortion, contraception, IVF, prenatal care, and screenings must be protected</li><li>Pregnancy and childbirth should be safer, especially for women of color who face higher risks</li><li>Survivors of rape, incest, and domestic violence deserve real access to care and support</li></ul>She will fight to recruit OB-GYNs and women’s health providers, protect patient privacy, enforce HIPAA, and ensure that healthcare remains safe, legal, and accessible.<h4>Children’s Mental Health Can’t Wait</h4>Our children are facing a mental-health crisis. Rates of depression and anxiety are rising, suicide rates have increased, and families are waiting months for help, if they can get it at all.Katie believes mental health is just as important as physical health, especially for kids.She will fight to:<ul><li>Expand mental-health coverage for children through Medicaid and private insurance</li><li>Fully fund school-based mental-health professionals, not just guidance counselors</li><li>Reduce waitlists by increasing pay and training pipelines for child therapists</li><li>Provide crisis-response training for teachers and school staff</li><li>Protect children from losing care mid-treatment due to paperwork or red tape</li></ul>Healthy kids grow into healthy adults, and strong communities depend on both.<h4>Putting Families Before Politics</h4>For more than twenty years, Republican leadership in South Carolina has blocked Medicaid expansion, restricted reproductive healthcare, and underfunded mental-health services, even as costs rise and access disappears.Katie Crosby believes it’s time for leadership that:<ul><li>Trusts families and medical professionals</li><li>Prioritizes care over ideology</li><li>Expands access instead of creating barriers</li></ul>Healthy families don’t happen by accident. They happen when leaders choose people over politics.

Katie Crosby is fighting for affordable healthcare, protected reproductive freedom, and real mental-health support for kids, because when families are healthy, communities thrive.

Strong public schools are the foundation of a strong community. But in District 44, rapid growth, overcrowded classrooms, and underpaid teachers are putting pressure on students, families, and educators alike.Katie Crosby believes every child deserves a high-quality public education — and she’s running to strengthen our schools, support teachers, and prepare students for bright futures right here at home.<h4> Fully Funding Public Schools</h4>Public schools serve the vast majority of families in District 44, and they deserve stable, reliable funding that stays in our community.Katie believes education dollars should strengthen neighborhood public schools — not be diverted to private voucher programs that lack accountability and don’t even exist in this district.She will fight to:<ul><li>Fully fund public education</li><li>Oppose private-school voucher programs that drain resources from local schools.</li><li>Ensure education funding is spent on students and classrooms, not bureaucracy.</li></ul>Strong schools require investment, transparency, and accountability.<h4>Respecting Teachers as the Professionals They Are</h4>Teachers shouldn’t have to work second jobs, create Amazon wish lists, or beg for basic supplies. Yet South Carolina continues to lag behind the region in teacher pay and retention.Katie will fight to:<ul><li>Make teacher pay competitive across the Southeast</li><li>Hire and retain highly qualified educators</li><li>Add more teacher assistants and paraprofessionals</li><li>Lower student-to-adult ratios so teachers can teach</li></ul>When teachers are supported, students succeed.<h4>Addressing Overcrowding and Growth Head-On</h4>District 44 is one of the fastest-growing areas in South Carolina, but school infrastructure hasn’t kept up. Overcrowded classrooms and mobile units are becoming the norm, creating learning and safety challenges for students and staff.Katie supports:<ul><li>Building new schools to keep pace with growth</li><li>Reducing reliance on mobile classrooms</li><li>Long-term planning so growth doesn’t outpace classrooms</li></ul>Our children shouldn’t be learning in temporary solutions.<h4>Safe Schools Where Students Can Learn and Thrive</h4>Every child deserves to feel safe at school - physically, emotionally, and mentally.Katie will fight for:<ul><li>Evidence-based bullying prevention programs</li><li>Training for teachers and staff to recognize red flags and intervene early</li><li>Properly trained School Resource Officers who understand child development, mental health, and special needs.</li><li>Proactive school-safety strategies focused on prevention not fear</li></ul>Safety starts with preparation, compassion, and common sense.<h4>Supporting Student Health and Well-Being</h4>Schools are often the first place where health concerns are identified, but too many schools lack the resources they need.Katie supports:<ul><li>Adequate nurse-to-student ratios with proper training</li><li>Licensed mental-health therapists in schools, not just guidance counselors</li><li>AEDs and staff training for medical emergencies</li><li>School environments that treat mental health as seriously as physical health</li></ul>Healthy students are better learners.<h4 style="text-align: left;">Letting Teachers Teach</h4>Classrooms should be places of learning, curiosity, and growth, not political battlegrounds.Katie believes:<ul><li>Teachers should be trusted to teach</li><li>Curriculum decisions should be driven by educators and evidence, not political agendas</li><li>Schools should focus on literacy, math, critical thinking, and real-world skills</li></ul>Education works best when politics stay out of the classroom.<h4>Feeding and Supporting Every Child</h4>Students can’t learn if they’re hungry.Katie supports:<ul><li>Free school meals so every child can focus on learning</li><li>Summer meal programs to support families year-round</li><li>Accountability to ensure education funding directly benefits students</li></ul>Meeting basic needs helps students reach their full potential.<h4>Building a Better Economy Through Better Schools</h4>Strong schools don’t just benefit students. They strengthen the entire community.Katie believes:<ul><li>Better schools mean a stronger workforce</li><li>Education is economic development</li><li>Investing in public education keeps families and businesses in South Carolina</li></ul>Bright futures start with strong schools.

Katie Crosby is fighting for fully funded public schools, fair teacher pay, safer classrooms, and evidence-based solutions that put students, not politics, first.

Traffic and growth are reshaping District 44, but our infrastructure hasn’t kept up. Congestion, unsafe intersections, and overloaded systems are putting families at risk every day.Katie Crosby believes growth should be planned, roads should be safe, and infrastructure should serve the people who live here, not leave communities stuck playing catch-up.<h4>Planning Growth So Communities Aren’t Left Behind</h4>District 44 is one of the fastest-growing areas in South Carolina, but growth without planning has consequences. Traffic congestion, overcrowded schools, and overworked utilities are the result of development that outpaces infrastructure.Katie believes growth must be responsible and planned.She will fight to:<ul><li>Require meaningful impact studies before large developments are approved</li><li>Ensure growth pays for growth, including roads, schools, utilities, and public safety</li><li>Give local communities a real voice in planning decisions</li></ul>Smart growth protects families and preserves the quality of life.<h4>Safer Roads and Smarter Traffic Solutions</h4>Traffic in District 44 isn’t just frustrating - it’s dangerous. Outdated road designs, unprotected left turns, and poorly timed traffic signals are leading to crashes, backups, and delayed emergency response.Katie supports:<ul><li>Protected turn lanes and safer intersections on high-traffic corridors like Hwy 521</li><li>Data-driven traffic engineering based on safety and congestion, not politics</li><li>Long-term road repairs that last, not temporary patches</li></ul>Road safety is a public safety issue.<h4>Designing Roads for Everyone</h4>Our roads should work for everyone who uses them: drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, school buses, and first responders.Katie will fight for:<ul><li>Sidewalks, crosswalks, and safe walking paths</li><li>Bike lanes where appropriate</li><li>Infrastructure that is accessible for seniors, people with disabilities, and families</li></ul>Walkable, accessible communities reduce congestion and save lives.<h4>School Transportation and Family Safety</h4>School traffic spilling onto major highways creates dangerous conditions for students, parents, and commuters, especially when bus systems are underfunded.Katie supports:<ul><li>Better funding for school buses and drivers</li><li>Safer school access points and drop-off designs</li><li>Transportation planning that accounts for school capacity and traffic patterns</li></ul>Safe routes to school protect children and ease congestion for everyone.<h4>Reliable Utilities and Emergency Readiness</h4>Outdated power, water, and sewer systems are being pushed beyond their limits by rapid growth, increasing the risk of outages, service disruptions, and higher costs.Katie will fight for:<ul><li>Infrastructure upgrades that keep utilities reliable and affordable</li><li>Planning that anticipates growth before systems are overloaded</li><li>Roads and traffic systems that allow first responders to reach emergencies quickly</li></ul>Infrastructure is about safety, reliability, and preparedness.<h4>Parks, Green Space, and Quality of Life</h4>Infrastructure isn’t just roads and pipes, it’s also the spaces where families live, play, and connect.Katie supports:<ul><li>Parks, green spaces, and safe outdoor areas for growing families</li><li>Infrastructure planning that includes stormwater management and flood mitigation</li><li>Protecting communities from flooding and costly emergency repairs</li></ul>Healthy communities need room to breathe.<h4>Accountability, Transparency, and Results</h4>Taxpayer dollars should be spent where they are needed most, and infrastructure projects should come with clear timelines, transparency, and measurable outcomes.Katie believes:<ul><li>Infrastructure decisions should prioritize safety and long-term value</li><li>Funding should go toward solutions that work, not political favors</li><li>Communities deserve accountability, not excuses</li></ul>After decades of one-party control, it’s time for leadership that plans ahead and delivers results.

Katie Crosby is fighting for safer roads, smarter growth, and accountable infrastructure planning that protects families, supports emergency response, and improves quality of life.

Families in Indian Land and across District 44 are working harder than ever, yet too many are still struggling to afford the basics. Rising costs and stagnant wages are putting pressure on household budgets and small businesses alike.Katie Crosby believes South Carolina’s economy should work for working families — not just corporations, and she’s running to build stability, raise wages, and create real opportunity for our community.<h4>An Economy That Works for Working Families</h4>Everything should be affordable — housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and the cost of simply living and working in South Carolina.Right now, too many families are forced to make impossible choices: pay rent or buy prescriptions, keep the lights on or put food on the table. Prices keep rising while wages stay stuck, and working people are being left behind.Katie believes that if you work hard, you should be able to afford a home, raise a family, and plan confidently for the future, and that economic growth should bring stability and opportunity to every family.<h4>Fair Wages and Real Job Opportunities</h4>South Carolina’s job market is growing, but too many jobs don’t pay enough to keep up with the cost of living. Teachers, nurses, and first responders are being priced out of the communities they serve. Young people are leaving the state because they can earn more elsewhere.Katie will fight to:<ul><li>Raise wages responsibly so every job pays enough to live on</li><li>Support worker protections and the right to organize</li><li>Expand access to job training, community colleges, and trade programs</li><li>Prioritize companies that create real jobs for South Carolinians</li></ul>No one should have to work multiple jobs to get by.<h4>Supporting Small Businesses and Local Growth</h4>Small businesses are the backbone of District 44’s economy, yet they’re often overlooked while large corporations receive special treatment.Katie supports:<ul><li>Making it more affordable to start and grow a small business</li><li>Cutting unnecessary red tape while protecting workers and consumers</li><li>Providing targeted tax relief, grants, and loans for local businesses</li><li>Expanding broadband access to support remote work and entrepreneurship</li></ul>When small businesses thrive, communities thrive.<h4>Affordable Healthcare Is an Economic Issue</h4>Healthcare costs are one of the biggest pressures on family budgets and employers. When people can’t afford care, families suffer, and businesses lose workers.Katie will fight to:<ul><li>Cap the cost of insulin and other life-saving medications</li><li>Expand Medicaid and telehealth access</li><li>Increase transparency in healthcare pricing</li><li>Ensure insurance covers the care doctors say patients need</li></ul>No family should go without healthcare because of cost.<h4>Holding Corporations and Career Politicians Accountable</h4>For over twenty years, Republicans have controlled South Carolina state government, and during that time, life has become less affordable for working people.Katie believes it’s time for leadership that:<ul><li>Puts people before profits</li><li>Stops giving handouts to corporations that don’t create local jobs</li><li>Brings transparency and accountability to economic decision-making</li></ul>South Carolina can grow its economy without leaving working families behind.
