Kay represented the Division of Forde, Queensland.[1] She was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and was a special events co-ordinator for a handicapped association,[2] a shop proprietor and a financial consultant before entering politics.[1] Elson has eight children, 23 grandchildren and one great grandchild.[3] Elson was preselected as Liberal candidate in Forde for the 1996 election. The seat was originally a safe Labor seat, but a redistribution added some Liberal-friendly territory in the Scenic Rim, which all but erased Labor's majority. Elson defeated Labor incumbent Mary Crawford on a nine-percent swing, turning Forde into a safe Liberal seat in one stroke. Her victory was part of Labor's near-total collapse in Queensland; Labor was cut down to only two seats there. In June, Kay Elson announced that she would not be seeking a fifth term. By this time, she had built up her majority to 12 percent. However, the seat was lost to Labor on a 14-point swing, making it one of the safest Coalition seats to be gained by Labor.
