Katie Hill, born Katherine Lauren Hill, is an American politician and social services administrator who served as the U.S. Representative for California’s 25th congressional district from January 3, 2019, until her resignation on November 3, 2019. Hill was born and raised in the Santa Clarita Valley in Southern California. She attended public schools and later earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Public Administration from California State University, Northridge. Before her political career, Hill worked in various roles in social services, most notably as the Executive Director of People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), a non-profit organization in California. Under her leadership, PATH became one of the largest non-profit providers of homes for the homeless in the state. Katie Hill gained national attention during her 2018 campaign for Congress, where she ran as a Democrat in a district that had been a Republican stronghold. Her campaign was notable for its focus on grassroots organizing and its emphasis on issues such as healthcare, housing, and women’s rights. Hill’s victory was part of a larger wave of Democratic wins in the 2018 midterm elections. Her tenure in Congress was marked by her advocacy for progressive policies and her membership on committees such as the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. However, her time in office was cut short when she resigned after allegations of inappropriate relationships with staffers surfaced, coupled with the release of intimate photos without her consent.
