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. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/11/04/meet-jenean-hampton-the-first-black-person-to-be-elected-to-statewide-office-in-kentucky/ 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? |
