About Kate Rumsey
Kate grew up in Carrollton and attended public schools in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD with her two brothers. Throughout her childhood, Kate watched her parents get involved in state politics to save her father’s pharmacy which primarily served children on Medicaid. Kate saw her parents serve others throughout their careers. As a result, Kate has spent her life’s work fighting for and protecting her community.
In the Department of Justice, Kate prosecuted fentanyl traffickers, fraudsters, public officials, pedophiles, and gun traffickers. Kate has received several awards for her work, including a Special Commendation from the Attorney General.
Kate’s calling to military service began in the aftermath of 9/11, which occurred during her Freshman year at the University of Notre Dame. Years later, after attending law school at NYU, Kate realized that goal and was commissioned in 2017. As a JAG officer in the Air Force Reserves, Kate advises commanders and provides free legal advice to Airmen and veterans.
Kate lives in Coppell with her husband, David, who was an active-duty Army officer for 12 years and is now a reservist. She has a daughter, Vivienne, and a stepson, Alex. Kate is an advocate for access to affordable fertility treatments, having been blessed with her daughter through IVF. Kate is running to fight for the district that made her the woman she is today and the community where she is raising her family. She will use her experience and service background to champion women’s reproductive rights, pass common-sense gun safety legislation, fix the grid, and fund public schools.
