She is the first African-American statewide officeholder in Kentucky who also happens to be a Tea Party republican.
She is lieutenant governor-elect serving with her running mate, Gov.-elect Matt Bevin who has been likened to Donald Trump.

Both Bevin and Hampton are Tea Party activists who have never held elective office. Hampton’s path certainly represents triumph over adversity. Born in Detroit, the 57-year-old Hampton and her three sisters were raised by a single mom who lacked a high school education and couldn’t afford a television or a car. But Hampton was determined to better herself. She graduated with a degree in industrial engineering and worked for five years in the automobile industry to pay off her college loans. She then joined the Air Force, retiring as a Captain. She earned an MBA from the University of Rochester, moved to Kentucky and became a plant manager in a corrugated packaging plant. Then she lost her job in 2012. She used her free time to start a career in politics and becoming active in the Tea Party. She ran a losing race for state representative in 2014 but won an early endorsement from Senator Rand Paul. She was tapped by Bevin to be his running-mate earlier this year.

If this is really what she believes and wants, good for her. I hope she doesn't wind up like Our first black female Sec.of State. Whitey is well known for using US and I don't mean the United States.

No, I don't.
Condi is a conserbative republican. As such, she is following her ideology. Is this what you're calling being used?
