Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin grew up in Alaska towns, from Skagway to Wasilla to Anchorage, while her dad taught science and coached high school sports. She and her future husband, Todd Palin, graduated from Wasilla High School in 1982, and she went on to earn her college degree from the School of Journalism at the University of Idaho. Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council, then two terms as the city's mayor and manager, and was elected by her peers as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. She then chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. Palin was elected Alaska's youngest, and first female, governor, serving from 2006 to 2009. While serving her state she was tapped as Senator John McCain's running mate in 2008, becoming the first female Republican vice presidential candidate in our nation's history.
The Palins reside in Wasilla with their five children, including a son in the U.S. Army, and one grandson. They enjoy an extended family throughout Alaska and the Lower 48.

Series:
Unknown
Year:
Unknown
Raiting:
4.5/5
If you arrange a small poll among Americans and ask them who Sarah Palin is, few of them will answer correctly, most won’t know this name. But one year ago vice presidential nominee and Alaska Governor took the floor at the Republican National Convention… and those words instantly made her one of the most famous women in the world. Being the head of America’s largest state, she implemented many important reforms other male politicians could only dream about. They were not only numerous, but also important: ethics reform and energy independence, to name the few. She renewed public school funding and reminded authorities about their responsibilities to young people. Oh ,yes, the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. history, how could I forget?. . You think that to perform such great deeds she had to devote all her time to politics, that she had no private life? You are wrong, like a real woman she managed to succeed in very many things at once: she also was a good wife and loving mother of five children, the youngest of whom was an infant with special needs and the eldest served his country in Iraq. As the campaign started, Sarah Palin became the target for both prize and criticism. Some thought that she would serve their interests well, being one of them, one of the «regular» people, others claimed that woman in an apron behind the kitchen table would not be able to become a good political leader. But they all were wrong, they didn’t know this woman. Do you want to look into her heart?
