About the candidate: K.P. and her husband Ken live in Montague, Michigan. She is a bonus mom to two daughters and son's-in-law, with six grandkidders. She grew up on the Great Lakes from Alpena to Sault Ste. Marie, and the Straits of Mackinac, to Michigan's West Shore. K.P.'s policy chops were honed while she worked for State Senator Mitch Irwin (D-Sault Ste. Marie), U.S. Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), and a member of Congress for nine years; as an elected college trustee for seven years, and two years as the City Clerk in Montague. She learned the ins and outs of government on the job, policy development, and what it means to help people solve problems with government. Later, K.P. applied that knowledge in her nonprofit work at the Girl Scout council, the Council for a Strong America, Citizen Action, the United Way of the Lakeshore; and as a consultant. Her work has advanced health care for all, women’s reproductive freedom, early childhood education and care, after-school access, programs to help increase family functioning and get troubled kids back on track, tobacco education, alternative fuel policies to reduce greenhouse gasses and lower our carbon footprint, agriculture policy, disaster relief for farmers, and economic development and job creation. She believes in opportunities for people to get a good public education that can lead to fair work opportunities with fair wages and benefits. In the mid-1990s, she was a program officer and trainer for the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs stationed in Moscow, Russia, where she worked with budding civic organizations; political parties and candidates; and local, state and federal officials on building systems of democracy.
