Kupec, who has been with ADF since 2014, also assisted White House staff in working for the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. She has a law degree from Liberty University, founded by the late homophobic televangelist Jerry Falwell. She was an attorney and director of communications for ADF.
