| Info | From Head Start to Harvard Law to the Justice Department, Kristin Cabral has worked hard to succeed and get things done. The first woman in her family to go to college, Kristin is a wife, mother, worker, and volunteer who gives back to her community. Service has always been her calling.
Kristin grew up in a commuter town called Princeton Junction in New Jersey where the trains travel between Philadelphia and New York. She is the oldest of four children, two girls and two boys. Her mom is a secretary who spent twenty years as a stay-at-home mom and her dad hung out a shingle as a self-employed accountant, working out of a home office. Her grandfathers dropped out in the 9th grade, one becoming a union truck driver and the other a foreman in a factory. Her family tree includes a school teacher, a firefighter, policemen, and secretaries.
Kristin was a preschooler in Head Start. As a girl, she took music and dance lessons, and she was a Girl Scout and one of the first girls to play Little League baseball. Starting as a teen, she has taught Sunday school and sang in her church choir over the years at times.
Told by her parents that “you are 18 and on your own,” Kristin paid her own way through both college and law school. She cobbled together the resources to do so by accessing student loans, grants, part-time jobs, and scholarships. She earned her college degree from the University of Michigan and her law degree from Harvard Law School.
Kristin became a federal prosecutor at the Justice Department in Washington, D.C., where she litigated immigration cases. She also served as a law clerk for a federal trial judge and a law professor teaching legal writing at George Washington University. All this while raising two children, so Kristin knows what it is like to work while one’s children are across the region in a daycare center and school --- and what that means for family time, parental involvement in our schools, and getting to your child in sickness or an emergency.
Kristin and her familyKristin and her husband, Joe Beaulieu, are the proud parents of two teenagers, Jacqueline and Paul.
Kristin has proudly volunteered for the PTA, including being a vice chair of fundraising and a co-chair of the fun fair. She has been a Brownie troop leader and Cookie Mom. She is a trustee on the Fairfax County Public Library board. And she has been a voting rights activist, seeking that our democracy be open, free, and fair.
Frustrated by partisan gridlock and with her family’s future and America’s future at stake, Kristin decided to run for Congress to get things done for Northern Virginia. She’s no politician. She’s a hardworking mom and professional who knows how to solve problems and get results. Just what we need in Congress today.
