Kathryn "Katie" Morgan is 39 years old and was born in Pennsylvania. She moved to Wyoming in June 2011 with her then fiancé now husband and has lived in Casper ever since. In Casper, Kathryn has found a career and started a family. She currently works at Casper College, where she has been since 2017, and has two children who attend the public schools in town. Kathryn has the personality of a "fixer", is passionate about social justice, and engages in continual learning through reading and social engagement. At her core, Kathryn believes in the power of communities and the individuals within them.

While this is Kathryn's first campaign for a public office, she has the work ethic and skills necessary to do the job. At Casper College, she works as an Assistant Director of the Writing Center where she completes administrative tasks, student and community tutoring, classroom presentations, the development of website content, gives computer lab assistance, and manages the new academic journal at the college titled "Avenues." Kathryn is a continual learner and strives help others.

Kathryn received a Bachelors of Arts in English (Professional Writing and Editing) and a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science in December 2009 from West Virginia University. In 2022, Kathryn earned her Master of Arts in English (Rhetoric and Gothic Literature) from National University.

Kathryn is a precinct committee person for precinct 3-10 for the Natrona County Democrats.

Kathryn is running for City Council because she is driven to get involved in the every day workings of the community. The "bigger picture" reasoning for Kathryn deciding to run deals with the current state of the country. There is so much happening politically, economically, socially, and technologically, it has become irresponsible NOT to get involved with the decisions that are being made about these topics. On the local level, working with the community she knows and loves makes the most sense. After all, the larger, bigger changes that create a better country always start as small, manageable adjustments within communities. Kathryn believes deeply that what is achieved here in Casper matters and that helping those who are struggling locally will have a ripple effect that will create change for others as well.
