Katherine Brooks Waddell (born June 16, 1938) is a Virginia politician who served in the Virginia House of Delegates, representing the 68th district, which includes portions of the City of Richmond and Chesterfield County. She was actively involved in Republican politics for a number of years, including stints working for Eddy Dalton, Jim Gilmore, and John H. Hager and serving on the Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia. She became disillusioned with the party due to its rightward shift on social issues and resigned from her official positions in the party in 2001 to support the campaign of an independent state house candidate.[1] A strong proponent of abortion rights, she remained on the national board of the Republican Majority for Choice.[2]
Born Hilda Katherine Brooks, she married John Chesleigh Waddell Jr. in Richmond on April 29, 1961.[3]
