Kathryn Watson -  Former Guest Speaker at the Leadership Institute

Katie loves digging into what's wrong with the status quo, and reporting that in a way that makes sense to your average reader and sparks debate. She specializes in everything from breaking news to in-depth investigative reporting, with a particular love for tax policy, higher education and public-sector pensions. 

She's made TV appearances on networks like Fox News and Newsmax, and her work has appeared in publications like Fox News, Drudge Report, Washington Times, Reason and Human Events. She's a proud member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, and has won six first place awards and best-in-show from the Virginia Press Association for her work.
