Kat Cammack

Cammack was born in Denver, Colorado and raised on a 55-acre cattle ranch.[4][5][6][7][8] She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in international relations from the Metropolitan State University of Denver and a Master of Science in national defense and strategic studies from the Naval War College.[9][10]

As an undergraduate, Cammack worked as an intern in the office of then-U.S. Representative Mike Coffman. In 2011, Cammack's parents lost their home after it was bought in a foreclosure,[11] and Cammack lived with her mother in an extended stay motel for four months.[12][13][14] Cammack says that her family's experience with the federal Home Affordable Modification Program inspired her interest in politics.[15] She later joined the congressional campaign of Ted Yoho.[16][17][18] After Yoho was elected, Cammack served as his deputy chief of staff from 2013 until 2019.[19][20] In 2019, Cammack left Yoho's office in Washington, D.C. and returned to Florida. She announced her candidacy for Yoho's seat in December 2019.[21] Yoho did not seek re-election in 2020, fulfilling his pledge of only serving four terms.[22]

Cammack also operates an independent political consulting firm.[23][24] Cammack was heavily favored to win the November general election as Florida's 3rd congressional district is safely Republican.[25][26][27][28] In September 2020, Cammack was endorsed by Donald Trump.[29] After her primary win, Cammack established a leadership PAC.[30][31]

Cammack's husband, Matt Harrison, is a firefighter.[37] They live in Gainesville, Florida.
