“Women’s Campaign Fund is proud to name Kristy Pagan as one of our Game Changers,” said Clare Bresnahan, Political & Programs Director for WCF. “The initiative is all about finding women who are redefining politics from the inside out and that’s what Kristy’s campaign is all about. She is one of the most dynamic women leaders in Michigan and has leveraged her own qualifications as well as her labor background to help women run for office across the country. She even started her own business to help women and progressives win. She would be an outstanding representative for the 21st district in the State House.”
