Kate Pomeroy joined Pacific Legal Foundation in 2014 as Media director, overseeing media relations for more than a decade. In 2025, she transitioned to the role of Major Media principal, a position created to expand PLF’s reach in top-tier national media and high-impact promotional efforts.
As a native Californian, Kate moved to Washington, DC, after college to advance the principles of economic freedom and limited government—a mission that has defined her career.
Before joining PLF, she held senior communications roles at several national organizations, including communications director at Concerned Veterans for America, where she oversaw media and digital strategy; media relations director at Public Notice; and vice president of communications at Independent Women’s Forum, where she led both short- and long-term strategy.
Earlier in her career, Kate worked at Shirley & Banister Public Affairs, supporting high-profile clients such as J.C. Watts and Linda Chavez, and at The Heritage Foundation, where she served in multiple roles, including marketing manager for Townhall.com, one of the first major conservative online communities.
In 2004, she took a brief hiatus from policy work to serve at the Silver Lining Foundation in Aspen, Colorado, a camp for children with cancer founded by former tennis champion Andrea Jaeger—an experience she credits with reinforcing her perspective on purpose and impact.
Kate lives in North Carolina, where she enjoys playing tennis, spending time outdoors, staying active in her community, and spending time with her dogs. She holds a bachelor’s degree in communications from Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
