Kat Castro Clemons

President

ROADwoman Kat Castro Clemons is a native Houstonian, a wife, a mother of two, and serves as the Development Director for Bay Area Turning Point in Webster, TX. For over a decade, Kat has worked in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors helping seniors with Alzheimer's, Dementia, and younger adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities, and now as a fundraiser for Bay Area Turning Point, an agency that serves victims of Family Violence, Sexual Assault, and Sex Trafficking.

Kat studied at the New College of California and went to high school at The High School For The Performing and Visual Arts in Houston. As a child raised by a single parent, feminism came naturally to Kat. Helping others and being politically active has been a gradual progression in her career from canvassing for California Peace Action in San Francisco to working with at-risk teen mothers, to then with a non-profit that helps folks with special needs.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Kat thrives for equality for all and believes that regardless of race, class, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, or nationality, “We are all human and should be treated with kindness and fairness. But under the current administration, I believe women's reproductive rights are under attack, climate change is being denied and health care is about to be taken away from the neediest Americans.  So, I believe we have to continue to stand up, speak out, show up and be bold to make sure those in office hear what their constituents want.”

Kat also serves as the President of the Clear Lake Area Toastmasters, the Co-Chair for the Membership Services Division at the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, is a member of Texas Democratic Women of Harris & Galveston Counties, Southwest Democrats, The Caucus, Tejano Democrats and is a sustaining member for the Harris County Democratic Party & Galveston County Democratic Party. As the President, she hopes to grow the organization in ways that truly reflect the beautiful diversity of our city and be a part of inspiring young women to throw their hats in the ring and start running for office!
