Kristen Powers is an American pundit. She is, functionally, of the cognoscenti in the field of politics, leading massive changes in policy and commanding some of the giant arms of organizations like CNN. She gained wide recognition at the beginning of her career, working for the Democratic Party as a staff assistant at the side of the Clinton-Gore presidential transition team in 1992. She wrote for The American Prospect, Wall Street Journal, Elle, Salon, New York Observer and USA Today during her career.
Born in 1969 and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, Kirsten Powers studied at the University of Maryland. After graduating, she attended law school at Georgetown University for a year and a half. Raised as an Episcopalian, she spent most of her adult life as a non-denominational Christian, believing everyone was equal before God. As she approached her 40s, after dating a man who introduced her to the Redeemer Presbyterian Church and Tim Keller, Kristen became an evangelical Christian. Her conversion to Orthodox Evangelism was a massive change to her life, in her words. And, as she has spent most of her life dealing with politics, it was inevitable that her newfound faith would affect that aspect of her life as well.
She has said that through Christianity, she came to "view everyone as God's child and that God offers the gift of salvation." This belief would come to define her political opinions in an attempt to seek equality and interpersonal grace. To her more personal life and affairs, she dated Anthony Weiner for a short period in 2002. However, they parted as good friends. Then, in 2010, she married Dr Marty Makary, a professor at the Department of Public Health of Johns Hopkins University. But in 2013, the couple filed for a divorce. However, both have been reticent to discuss their divorce or other details of their personal life. As a result, Her net worth and salary are not known to the public.
Powers served in the Clinton Administration as an Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Public Affairs from 1993 to 1998. She also held the post of Vice President at the International Communications Department of America Online. Then, after AOL's merge with Time Warner, she served for a brief period as Vice President at the AOL-Time Warner Foundation. With the fallout of the AOL merger clear, she moved on to become a press secretary for the DNC Committee chair race with Donnie Fowler. She had a role in at least one primary political election. However, Andrew Cuomo's election campaign for Governor chose not to mention her services as Communications Director in the Virginia Fields mayoral campaign.

After those prestigious positions, the American political pundit found herself consulting for various organizations, organizations like 'Human Rights First' and the National Council for Research on Women. Following that, she found herself, in 2015, authoring her first book, The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech. In the novel, Powers asked, "Whatever happened to free speech in America?" She criticized the Left's for what she perceives to be a gross focus on conformity and a long, sustained, and illiberal attack on free speech.
She writes columns for the Daily Beast and USA Today on such varied topics as faith, human rights, and politics. She also served as a political analyst for Fox News and worked on shoes like the Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News Sunday and the O'Reilly Factor. After a decade of working as a Fox News contributor, she moved to CNN as a political analyst. Her first appearance was on "Anderson Cooper 360". It's important to understand that her move to CNN happened along with a trend. During her move, CNN made a special effort to step up its recruitment of Fox employees. Furthermore, her departure came a few weeks after Fox News CEO and founder Roger Ailes were forced to resign due to accusations of sexual harassment.
Kirsten Powers, as a political pundit and analyst, has strong beliefs on specific issues. It is here you can see the influence of her religious beliefs. For instance, she supported Obama's health care reforms, immigration reforms, gun control, and equal rights for the gay community, all of these things for the sake of equality and fairness. On the other hand, she opposes the amendment on flag burning, the death penalty, the Fairness Doctrine, and the Iraq War. She, similarly, is against abortions done electively during late-term.
However, it's essential to lay bare the development of her opinions. Over time, she began to view Obama's health care policies with scepticism. Her words: "A lot of people who have been screwed over by the law and are left without insurance or with costly insurance". She also voiced support for a Ron Fournier piece in the National Journal critical of Obamacare.
Kirsten Powers was also actively involved in the 'Vote No on 3' campaign that led to the ballot initiative, put forward by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to oust primary party members.
Her social profiles are highly active. She tends to post about her everyday-life news and interests, her views on new and hot topics and her two dogs, Ellie and Bill. It's become something of a regular event for her to photograph her dogs in funny poses. Judging by her active career and young, highly productive age, Kirsten Powers is a hard-to-find professional who still has a lot to offer in her respective field. As far as can be told, she indeed won't be retiring soon.
