Emma Kerr-Carpenter lives in the heart of Billings. During the past three legislative sessions she fought to fund public safety in Billings,  defend healthcare for all Montanans, protect the environment, and strengthen public education. She has spent her career working with youth and their families to overcome poverty, trauma, and crisis. Lately, she spends her days trying to keep up with her two year old son.

Emma and her husband, Dan, just welcomed their first son and are raising him in Billings. She wants the Montana he grows up in to reflect the values that make this place home—neighbors helping neighbors.

When she is not working, Emma can be found hiking, knitting, or in her kitchen crafting (and eating) delicious food.
