Katie, 66, is a lifelong resident of Washington County. She was born and raised in Hagerstown. She attended St. Mary Catholic School and St. Maria Goretti High School. She earned a B.A. from Boston College, her MD State Teaching Certificate from Frostburg University, and a Masters degree from Johns Hopkins University. She’s always been a proponent of lifelong learning.
She began her teaching career at E. Russell Hicks Middle School, and subsequently taught Language Arts at Boonsboro and Williamsport High Schools. She married Todd Hershey in 1992, and the couple have six children. After her public school teaching career, she home schooled many of her children through the eighth grade. They went on to attend various Washington County high schools including the International Baccalaureate Program at North
Hagerstown High School, Boonsboro High School and the Washington County Technical High School. She has great respect for the educators of Washington County.
Katie serves on the board of Hagerstown Community Concert Association, supporting its Outreach programs in the schools. She has been a board member of the Washington County Historical Society and is a lifelong member. The Washington County Museum of Fine Arts has had a place in her life since childhood and she has maintained a membership throughout the years. She is actively involved in her St. Agnes Parish as a Eucharistic Minister, member of the Racial Justice Committee and Scripture Sharing and Hospitality groups. An avid reader, she is a member of two local book clubs.
She happily admits completing the Maryland Triathlon: swimming the 4.4 mile Great Chesapeake Bay Swim, biking 184.5 on the C&O Canal and “running” the JFK 50 Ultramarathon…just not on the same day! She enjoys all the wonderful outdoor activities that are available to Washington Countians from canoeing its beautiful streams and Potomac River to hiking its great trails: the AT, C&O Canal and ANB.
As a candidate for the Democratic WCCC, she is committed to bringing voters back to the polls, reinvigorating the Democratic party at the local level, recruiting and supporting strong candidates across all county races and reviving the positive events that have brought Democrats together for decades.
