Kathleen "Kitty" Rehberg (née Kaesser; October 16, 1938) is an American politician in the state of Iowa.
Rehberg was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She attended Kirkwood Community College and is a farmer. She served Iowa Senate from 1997 to 2005, as a Republican (14th district from 1997 to 2003 and 12th district from 2003 to 2005).[1]
Senator Rehberg was a farmer. She continued to function in that capacity before and after serving as a state senator for the Republican Party in Buchanan County. She served in the Iowa state senate for two terms. She worked to eliminate parts of the inheritance tax and cut income taxes by 10 percent. Rehberg was also widely known for encouraging the development of entrepreneurs within her community. This stunt and other beliefs put her at stark odds with some of her party members. "What we all came on is we thought government was too intrusive into our lives and was taking too much of our money -- our hard-earned money," Rehberg said.[2]
