Katie Mae Simpson, Executive Director

Katie Mae spent her formative years in Washington County, Maine, where she attended high school at Narraguagus in Harrington.  She received her B.A. from Middlebury College in Vermont.  After college, she spent a year in a grassroots organizing training program called Green Corps and then worked for Howard Dean’s presidential primary campaign in 2004.  For the last five years, Katie Mae has been based in Boston where she has worked on a variety of progressive issues – including defending gay marriage, women’s health, and workplace safety, as well as with a number of local and state-wide political campaigns.  In the 2008 cycle, she helped put eight progressive Dems in the Mass State House, doing polling and field consulting.

When she’s not engaged in progressive activism or working on political campaigns, Katie Mae spends time growing her own food, doing yoga, and watching old episodes of West Wing.
