Kathy Love Speaks at Pachyderms
Kathy Love spoke at the local Pachyderm meeting on Feb 2 in Stevensville. Pachyderms is the local educational arm of the Republican Party.
Kathy shared her background because she feels that how you grew up helps shape who you are as an adult. She talked about her parents and siblings as well as her careers and involvement in political issues through out the years.
She grew up in Georgia, moved to Florida in 1985 and then to Montana in September of 1990. After graduating from college with a degree in Dental Hygiene, she practiced in Florida for 5 years before life led her to the beauty of Montana. She practiced Dental Hygiene in Ravalli county for 33 years with 30 of those years in the same office. She recently retired from practice in December of 2023.
Kathy also owns and operates Love2Shoot Firearms Training located in Hamilton. She teaches men and women with a particular focus on women. The business was born of the need for a woman firearms trainer to teach women. The business was started in 2018 and grew quickly with word spreading mostly by word of mouth.
In 2019 Kathy was asked to join a group called The DC Project, The group is now known as Women for Gun Rights. The group is composed of women from all 50 states that advocate in their states and Washington DC for 2nd Amendment rights and issues. Through this group Kathy is able to stay in touch and on top of issues that are happening elsewhere that could potentially affect Montana.
Veterans including her father, brother and a son is part of Kathy’s lineage. She has several uncles that served as well with others in the family that served going back several generations.
Kathy talked about issues that she is hearing from people and issues that are important to her as well. Those issues include election integrity, taxes and Second Amendment issues. These are just a sample of the issues we face but these three seem to rise to the top when talking to people.
Kathy ended the session with a question and answer period.
