Kindred prosecuted sexual assault crimes and did “pro bono work to stem this very significant crisis that my state has with these heinous crimes of sexual abuse,” the junior senator said.She said Kindred was raised in Alaska, came from a good family, married into a good family and was a good Alaskan. She said she was proud of his “commitment to public service and his willingness to serve our state.
Only 15% of respondents ranked him as qualified or extremely qualified, a low rating that could have been due to many Alaska attorneys not knowing anything about him. The “media onslaught” that never happened tells more about the state of news coverage in Alaska than anything else. That and the secrecy of the senators.
But some of his clerks did not see him as a mentor, but as a menace, according to the court investigation that led to his resignation last week. Last year he set up the Sullivan Alaska Federal Judicial Council to offer him advice on judge candidates. Sullivan named former Gov. Sean Parnell and former Lt. Gov. Loren Leman to lead his council. Katchen is also on the Sullivan judge council.
