Dethroned Miss Michigan heads to the House

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 3, 2022

Rep. Ronny Jackson's (R-Texas) newest hire is a dethroned pageant queen.

Kathy Zhu was crowned Miss Michigan in 2019 but was stripped of her title over allegedly racist tweets she posted in the years preceding the pageant. She again made headlines days later at a Trump campaign event for her claim that "coming out as conservative is honestly harder than coming out as gay."

Zhu, now Jackson's scheduler, graduated from the University of Michigan in 2020 and most recently worked for campaign consultancy Targeted Victory.
