Catherine Henderson is one of three Democrats who filed for the Democratic primary in old downtown Kalispell’s House District 7 (map). She’s also just 18 years old, a senior at Flathead High School, and the granddaughter of former state representative Dale McGarvey, who’s serving as her treasurer.
If elected, she would not be the first from Kalispell to serve in the legislature at an age so young. In the 1970s, Jack Udhe served at least one term before seeking his fortune in, I believe, California.
Henderson’s competitors for the HD-7 Democratic nomination are Roxanne Brothers, who is in her eighth decade, and Alex Schaeffer, a middle-aged reading tutor.
