Katie Monoc’s legal career was born of a passion for community betterment. As a Political Science major in college, Katie was the recipient of the Witherspoon Award for Outstanding Achievement in Political Science. Accolades like this launched her early career as a Program Director in the South Carolina House of Representatives, and then as a grassroots organizer in Washington D.C. It was in doing this fieldwork that Katie began to see that the root of her interest in politics was social justice, which lead her to enroll in law school and become an attorney who believes strongly in working toward the greater good in communities both small and large.

Katie’s experience in election law includes serving as general counsel for two gubernatorial candidates, among other state and local candidates. As a skilled litigator, she has capably handled election issues requiring litigation, such as candidate qualifications and election protest. In addition, she has assisted with voter protection in South Carolina since working as a field organizer in 2002 and has served actively as poll watcher and in boiler rooms since law school. Katie was also published in this area by the Charleston Law Review.
