Palin, Sarah Heath
, 1964–, U.S. politician, b. Sandpoint, Idaho, as Sarah Louise Heath, grad. Univ. of Idaho (B.S. 1987). Her family moved to Alaska not long after she was born. In 1992 she entered Alaskan local politics, winning two terms on Wasilla's city council (1992–96) and two terms as its mayor (1996–2002). A Republican and a social conservative, she made (2002) an unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor and chaired (2003–4) the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Concerned by ethical conflicts involving a commission member who was also Republican state party chairman, she resigned after serving less than a year. In 2006 she defeated Gov. Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary and won the governorship in the general election, becoming Alaska's first woman governor. Chosen in 2008 by Republican presidential candidate John McCain to be his running mate, Palin became the first woman to be nominated for the vice presidency by the Republican party. The McCain-Palin ticket lost the election to Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Palin

Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin served as governor of Alaska from 2006 to 2009, the state's first female governor. In August 2008, Senator John McCain chose Palin to serve as his vice-presidential running mate in his presidential campaign, making Palin the first woman to run on the Republican Party's presidential ticket.
Palin was born on February 11, 1964, in Sandpoint, Idaho, moving to Alaska with her family in later that year. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in communications from the University of Idaho in 1987, then returned to Alaska to work as a sports reporter at an Anchorage television station.
Palin served on the Wasilla City Council from 1992 to 1996 and as mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002. In 2002, she campaigned unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor of Alaska. After the election, she was appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission by Gov. Frank Murkowski, but resigned after attempting to investigate fellow commissioner and state Republican Party chair Randy Ruedrich.
