After earning her law degree from The University of Alabama School of Law, she practiced law at the Alabama-based firm Butler Snow LLP. In 2015, Katie took a leave of absence from the firm to serve as Senator Shelby’s deputy campaign manager and communications director. After his successful bid for re-election, she rejoined Shelby’s team as chief of staff in 2016. A proud mother and Christian, faith and family are at the heart of Katie’s life. She is a lifelong conservative who is committed to fighting tirelessly to put Alabama first. Katie resides in Montgomery with her husband, Wesley, and their two children, Bennett and Ridgeway.
