The deputy press secretary was raised just 35 minutes outside Washington DC, in Fairfax, Virginia.

She moved to Alabama in 2014 to attend Auburn University, where she studied political science and was a part of the Delta Zeta sorority.

Kelly graduated from Auburn in 2017 with a minor in community and civic engagement.

She went on to earn her Masters of Political Management at George Washington University.

As she worked toward her degree, she competed in the 2019 Miss State Fair of Virginia, where she took home the crown.

The beauty queen ran on her platform, “End the Apathy Epidemic: Promoting Youth Political Engagement,” according to the Fairfax Times.

The political enthusiast said she was inspired by her outspoken family and childhood memories living just outside the country’s capitol.

“My generation stands in an incredible position of power,” Kelly said.

“In today’s polarized political climate, it is our job to step up to the plate and work to ensure the government we receive is a good one.

“It is my goal as Miss State Fair of Virginia to show young people that, contrary to what they might believe, we do have a voice and it’s about time we used it.”
