Fairfax GOP Chair Katie Gorka to Join CPAC Latino Virginia Event

Katie Gorka, a renowned conservative strategist, author, and former senior advisor at the Department of Homeland Security, will be speaking at the CPAC Latino event on October 25, 2025, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM in Sterling, Virginia. As a dedicated leader in the fight against ideological threats and a key voice in promoting American freedoms, Gorka brings her expertise to champion conservative principles that secure borders, protect families, and drive economic prosperity for all Virginians, with a special focus on empowering the Latino community. This event, hosted by CPAC and its Latino partners, offers an essential platform to converge on these shared values during Virginia’s contentious election season.

Katie Gorka’s commitment to conservatism is profoundly shaped by her two decades living and working in Central and Eastern Europe following the fall of the Berlin Wall, where she witnessed the soul-crushing oppression of socialism firsthand and the miraculous power of liberty to rebuild shattered societies—lessons that mirror the unyielding pursuit of freedom and opportunity embodied by Latino immigrants fleeing tyranny and building new lives through faith, family, and resilience. As President of the Threat Knowledge Group, where she trained the FBI, U.S. Army Special Forces, and law enforcement on combating terrorism and specialized warfare, and as a senior advisor in the Trump administration’s DHS Office of Policy, Gorka honed strategies to safeguard communities and counter radical ideologies that threaten America. 

Her trailblazing work as Director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Civil Society and the American Dialogue, co-authoring books like NextGen Marxism to expose and dismantle leftist threats, and her current role as Chair of the Fairfax County GOP, all affirm her conviction that conservative values of individual liberty, strong national security, and free-market innovation are the bedrock for prosperity among Latinos and every American.
