Kellie Mitra Doucette

Kellie Mitra Doucette began her career in healthcare policy, and went on to work for many years as an actuary in the individual disability and long-term care reinsurance markets in the United States and Bermuda. In 2016 she shifted her career focus to politics, starting as a volunteer with local political campaigns and serving as Campaign Manager for three candidates running for Chatham Township Committee. Kellie was then hired as the Constituency Director on the congressional campaign for Rep. Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11), joining a campaign team that achieved the biggest flip from red to blue of a congressional seat across the country in 2018. 

In January 2019, Kellie transitioned to work in Rep. Sherrill's official congressional office, serving as a District Director for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District for over 6 years. In this role, she oversaw the operations of the District Office, coordinated with the legislative team in DC, and managed constituent and political outreach in Morris County for the Congresswoman. She worked closely with local officials on a bipartisan basis to identify and address a wide variety of issues such as flooding, water infrastructure, superfund remediation, public safety, housing affordability, mental health, reproductive health, economic development, veterans health care, and support for the local military installation. Her responsibilities also included contributing to strategic planning and overseeing the budget processes for the team. 

Kellie received her AB in Economics from Harvard in 1992 and completed her Associateship of the Society of Actuaries in 1999. She is a member of the Board of Trustees of St. Andrew’s School in Delaware, of which she is a proud alumna, serving as Vice-Chair, Chair of the Advancement Committee and a member of the Finance Committee. 

Kellie is also a member of the Board of Directors of Ibis Reproductive Health, where she serves as the Treasurer and Chair of the Finance Committee. Kellie currently lives in Harding, New Jersey with her husband John; their three children James, Christian and Ashlie; and their rescue dogs Stryder and Rexie.
