Kristen McKinley

Kristen McKinley was one of three candidates for the 6th State Board of Education District, an area that includes Franklin County in its entirety. Kristen is a labor and employment attorney for the Ohio Association of Public School Employees, an affiliate of AFSCME. The 6th is an urban and suburban district currently represented by Michael Cochran, another right-winger who snuck into the seat from a Democratic county. Kristen was endorsed by OAPSE, AFT, OEA, the Ohio AFL-CIO, and the Franklin County Democratic Party. Progressive Majority was part of a task force that included OFT, OEA, OAPSE/AFSCME, SEIU and the Governor's office that recruited Kristen.
