My name is Kate Wood and I am running for Albany County’s 5th Legislative District

Over the last several years, I have lived and worked in Albany as a social worker and labor organizer. I have witnessed firsthand the challenges most affecting our community every day — a housing crisis, rising cost of living, deteriorating infrastructure, and the struggles of working families, young professionals, and small business owners to overcome it all. Too often, the voices of the people most impacted by these issues go unheard and ignored.

That is why I am running – to lift up the voices of everyone in our community. As a passionate social worker, I have proven my dedication to serving others and advocating for social justice across all systems and communities. Now, I am ready to take that commitment to the Albany County Legislature to fight for the changes we have long known we need. I am incredibly grateful for your support, and honored to have the opportunity to serve as your advocate in the County Legislature.
