Kathy Seiden is a St. Tammany Councilwoman for District 4. She was elected in 2023 and led the Economic Development Workgroup and helps to oversee the parish’s $160 million budget along with other councilmembers.
Seiden has hired a Trump pollster as she positions herself to enter the U.S. Senate race.
Seiden is a lifelong Republican and sent this statement to WDSU News about entering the race.
“This is something we’re taking very seriously and will be making an official announcement soon. I think people would like an option of someone they can relate to who understands what a normal family goes through every day.”
Seiden was born in Hammond, Louisiana and raised in Port Allen. A graduate of Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge, she went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Louisiana State University. She currently lives in Mandeville with her husband and their four children.
