Kailee Buller is an Auburn native, food and economic policy advocate, and working mom who has spent her career fighting to lower costs, expand access to real food, and create opportunity for working families and farmers.
She served as Chief of Staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and has held other senior leadership roles within the federal government and national policy organizations. In those roles, she worked to cut red tape, strengthen American agriculture, support small businesses, and protect jobs across the food and energy supply chain. Kailee built a reputation for bringing people together, solving problems, and delivering practical solutions.
Her focus on affordability and opportunity is rooted in her own upbringing. Kailee grew up in Auburn in a blue-collar family. Her father worked 41 years as a correctional officer at Auburn Correctional Facility, and her mother is a nurse caring for Alzheimer’s patients. She is the first in her family to earn a four-year degree, graduating from the University at Buffalo. Today, she and her husband, Eric, are raising three young children. She’s running in NY-22 to restore affordability, strengthen public trust, and put Central New York families first.
