Kate Williams |
Senator Lisa Murkowski today announced the promotion of Kate
Williams to become her new legislative director in Washington,
DC, to oversee her legislative efforts in the United States
Senate.
Williams will fill the vacancy created by Tara Shaw’s
departure to run the policy operations of Senator Mike Enzi
(R-WY).
“Kate Williams has a stellar track record of advancing Alaskan
issues and serving Alaskans – and I look forward to having her
hand guiding our policy aims as we do what’s right for our state
and nation,” said Senator Murkowski. “Kate has been instrumental
in guiding oil and gas issues on the Energy Committee; Alaskans
will benefit greatly from her guidance on a broader portfolio of
issues in her new role as Legislative Director.”
Born and raised in Juneau, Kate Williams has had a robust resume
rising from front desk staffer for Senator Ted Stevens to
eventually becoming his legislative director.
After Stevens left office, Williams practiced law in Anchorage,
worked for the Alaska Oil and Gas Association and then joined
Senator Murkowski’s Energy Committee team as the Oil and Gas
Counsel.
She graduated from Juneau-Douglas High School, received an
undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina and
got her law degree from the University of San Diego.
Williams begins her new position today. |
