Katherine Hanley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Katherine Keith Hanley (born March 5, 1943 in Columbia, Missouri) is a Democratic politician in Virginia. Governor Tim Kaine appointed her Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 2006 after the Virginia General Assembly rejected his first nominee, state AFL-CIO President Daniel G. LeBlanc. She previously served as Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors from 1995 to 2003, as a county Supervisor for the Providence District from 1986 to 1995, and on the Fairfax County School Board. She is said to have contemplated running for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia in 2001, but deferred to then-Richmond Mayor Tim Kaine.[1] In 2003 she did not seek reelection to the Board of Supervisors, and instead mounted a primary challenge against Jim Moran for Virginia's 8th congressional district; she abandoned that campaign in December for family reasons.[2] In July, 2004 Governor Mark Warner appointed her to the Commonwealth Transportation Board. Following Kaine's election as Governor in November, 2005, she was rumored to be a possible contender for Virginia Secretary of Transportation, but was passed over in favor of incumbent Secretary Pierce Homer.
