Senator Kathy Nossel Klausmeier has deep roots in Baltimore County, since she grew up and raised her family here. Her husband owns and operates Klausmeier & Sons Auto Repair, and her daughter is a local schoolteacher. While Kathy has been working in the legislature for years, she’s not a career politician. For thirty years, Kathy worked as a Child-Life Coordinator in the Pediatric Department of St. Joseph Medical Center. Her commitment to bettering the lives of children is what sparked her life of public service, when she became the president of the PTA for Gunpowder Elementary. Kathy prides herself on being a bipartisan leader, willing to work across the aisle with any elected official to get a job done. She is a long-time supporter of the arts community and a strong advocate for Holt Park & Center for the Arts, where Overlea ArtsFest now has its home.
