Katie Beirne Fallon was the White House Director of Legislative Affairs and head of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs, named to the position in 2013 by President Barack Obama. Previously, she was the White House Deputy Communications Director, Staff Director of the Senate Democratic Policy & Communications Center, and Legislative Director to Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer. According to the Washington Post, Obama selected the "veteran Capitol Hill insider with deep relationships with Democratic lawmakers, to bolster his legislative affairs operation."
Fallon resigned as Director of Legislative Affairs on February 13, 2016, and was succeeded by her former deputy, Amy Rosenbaum. Since the death of Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, she has played a role in the external coalition supporting the administration's efforts to nominate and confirm a new Supreme Court Justice.
Fallon graduated first in her high school class and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Notre Dame in 1999 before studying in the United Kingdom at Queen's University and the London School of Economics on a Marshall Scholarship.
She is married to Brian Edward Fallon Jr., whom she met at the DPCC, and who served as national press secretary to Hillary for America.
