Sharon Kennedy may have a great political last name, but the Republican Ohio Supreme Court justice grew up in a working-class home in Colerain Township.
Kennedy has often reflected on those humble beginnings as she s ascended from police officer to local judge to the state s high court. She is mindful to credit mentors along the way for helping her to overcome doubts about being able to make it in politics since she s not from a wealthy, well-known family.
