Where else but in America could a schoolteacher from Kansas City end up the governor of her adopted state?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Growing up I never imagined a little girl from a border town could one day become a governor. But this is America. In America algo es possible.
Growing up, I never imagined a girl from a border town could one day become a governor.
I was governor of Kansas when Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts.
I ended up being the governor of a very ag state, Nebraska.
My mom grew up in Kansas, my dad in Indiana. They had boring childhoods.
I grew up in conservative rural Kansas in the 1950s when it was expected that girls would not have a life outside the home, so educating them was a waste of time.
As the governor of this state, I obviously see the issue quite differently.
I went to the local schools, the local state primary school, and then to the local grammar school. A secondary school, which technically was an independent school, it was not part of the state educational system.
There's no place to act in Kansas. You're supressed.
It just felt like the right thing to do to give back to a state school and public school. I'm a really big fan of public education.
