I’m Kathleen Kane, and in this second episode of the “Flip the Script” series, I share the climb before the crash. I talk about my years in the DA’s office, including why I chose to prosecute child and sexual abuse cases, and how that work shaped me. Against the odds, I eventually became the first woman and first Democrat elected as Attorney General in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a milestone that marked the turning point of my career. I unpack the hurdles that came with this: being an outsider, being underestimated, and how, despite it all, I really believed that I could win.
