A familiar face at the swearing-in
Kash Patel, the newly appointed director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was officially sworn in on Friday, with US Attorney General Pam Bondi administering the oath on the Bhagavad Gita.
Standing beside him was his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, a country singer and press secretary for Republican Representative Abraham Hamade. Dressed in an all-white formal outfit, Wilkins once again caught public attention, having already made headlines during Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing.
Who is Alexis Wilkins?
Born on November 3, 1998, in Arkansas, Alexis Wilkins spent her early years in England and Switzerland before moving to Nashville, Tennessee. The 26-year-old holds a degree in business and political science from Belmont University.
She is a country singer, writer, and political commentator, known for her contributions to both music and conservative discourse. As a press secretary on Capitol Hill, she works for Republican Representative Abraham Hamade. She is also a contributor to PragerU, a platform that produces educational content promoting American values.
A rising name in country music
As a country artist, Wilkins has performed alongside big names such as Chris Young, Joe Nichols, Sara Evans, and Parmalee. Her debut EP and Veterans Day song garnered over 1 million streams across major platforms. She has also opened for artists like Sara Evans and Lee Greenwood.
Beyond music, Wilkins is a strong advocate for veterans’ causes and has worked with organizations like Warrior Rounds, Operation Standdown, and A Soldier’s Child. She also hosts a political podcast, “Between the Headlines,” on Rumble, where she discusses current events.
