Kelley began her career as a legislative assistant for more than five years, then advanced to advocacy roles with the Tennessee Medical Association and physician specialty groups, developing extensive expertise in healthcare policy. She has established and managed political action committees, led complex advocacy campaigns, and built coalitions across professional organizations, advocacy groups, and business leaders.

Partnering with Litson's litigation team, Kelley has secured key results for clients in highly regulated industries. Her work for the Tennessee hemp industry includes obtaining a legal injunction against the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and mobilizing more than 19,000 public comments during rulemaking. She blends direct legislative advocacy with strategic litigation coordination, grassroots mobilization, and regulatory compliance.

Rooted in West Tennessee and active with her husband and two sons, Kelley leverages long-standing relationships and a sophisticated understanding of the Tennessee General Assembly to convert policy priorities into measurable outcomes for clients.
