Katherine Simpler is an educator, union leader, and former commercial fisher from Kodiak, running for State Representative in Alaska’s House District 5.


Katherine understands the urgent need to invest in education, housing, public safety, and coastal communities. She's taking the initiative to fight for lasting solutions that reflect everyday Alaskans.


This will be an open seat in 2026, and the outcome could shift the balance of Alaska’s multi-partisan coalition—a group of legislators working to pass responsible budgets and strengthen essential public services.


Katherine’s campaign is powered by grassroots supporters who believe in practical leadership and a better future for all Alaskans.
