Krystle Kaul, a Virginia-based small business owner and former senior government official at the Department of Defense (DoD), recently concluded the initial quarter of her congressional campaign with an impressive $567,000 Cash on Hand (COH).
This financial standing marks the highest among all candidates in the race, a statement issued by her campaign stated.
“When I announced my campaign for Congress, many doubted that a first-time candidate would be able to compete with the career politicians in the race,” Kaul said.
“I’ve been told “you can’t do that” many times in life–it didn’t stop me then–and it certainly won’t now. Most Virginians are tired of career politicians and that’s why I’m running,” she added.
Kaul's congressional campaign focuses on enhancing national and neighborhood safety, advocating for women's reproductive freedoms, supporting senior citizens' rights, and fostering economic growth in Virginia.
“As a public servant who has spent most of my life helping to keep our country safe in the Department of Defense and now as a defense technology small business owner–I bring a unique perspective and set of skills that will deliver results for this district from day one,” she highlighted.
Besides being a small business owner, Kaul is a remote teacher at MIT. She also held the highest civilian rank at the DoD as a Director (GS-15) at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Furthermore, she served at US Central Command under Secretary Austin on the ISIS Crisis Cell during a time of war through Leidos.
Kaul holds a bachelor’s from American University and a master’s from Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). She pursued her Ph.D. in political science from Brown University.
