Kathryn Jean Lopez (born March 22, 1976) is an American conservative columnist who is nationally syndicated by the United Feature Syndicate.[1] She is also the former editor and currently an editor-at-large of National Review Online.[2] Her nickname on the website's group blog "The Corner" is "K-Lo", a wordplay based on "J-Lo," the popular nickname for Jennifer Lopez.
Early life
Lopez grew up in the Chelsea section of Manhattan,[3] attended the all-girls Dominican Academy in New York, and graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where she studied philosophy and politics. Before joining National Review in New York, she worked at the Heritage Foundation on Capitol Hill.
Career
Besides National Review and NRO, her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times, The Women's Quarterly, The National Catholic Register, Our Sunday Visitor, American Outlook, New York Press, and The Human Life Review, among other publications.
She writes almost exclusively about religion. Of NRO's writers, she tends to be a proponent of anti-abortion, marriage and family issues from a dogmatic Catholic perspective, though she herself remains unmarried and barren. She also advocates strong leadership within the Church, and was a supporter of the election of Pope Benedict XVI.
She was a strong supporter of President George W. Bush's reelection bid in the 2004 presidential election. On the day of the election, when afternoon exit polls showed Bush losing, she relayed information from Bush campaign insiders that cast doubt on the poll methodology.[4] In 2009, she was dismissed from her service as NRO editor; her job was absorbed by existing personnel (see [1]).
Lopez has appeared on CNN, C-SPAN, the Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and Oxygen and was a frequent guest on radio and TV shows, including Hugh Hewitt's nationally syndicated program and Vatican Radio.
