Kathleen Marie "Kate" Marshall (born July 22, 1959) is an American attorney and politician. She is a member of the Democratic Party. She was the Nevada State Treasurer. Marshall was not eligible to run for a third term as treasurer in 2014 due to lifetime term limits established by the Nevada Constitution. She ran for Nevada Secretary of State in 2014 and was defeated by Republican Barbara Cegavske.
Marshall was born on July 22, 1959 in San Francisco, California. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1982. After graduation, she served in Kenya as a member of the Peace Corps. Marshall also interned for U.S. Senator Paul Laxalt's law firm.
After law school, Marshall went on to serve with distinction in the Department of Justice where she received the Antitrust Division’s Outstanding Contribution Award for service. Her career in public service continued when Kate became the Senior Deputy Attorney General for the state of Nevada under Nevada Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa.
Marshall was initially elected Treasurer of Nevada in 2006. She won the Democratic nomination with over 65% of the vote and defeated Mark Destefano in the general election by a 47-41 margin. She was elected to a second term on November 2, 2010, against Steve Martin with 48% of the vote, in what was considered a bad electoral year for Democrats overall.
