Craft Set to Take 'Sharp Elbows' to UN

Margaret Besheer

   UNITED NATIONS --Kelly Knight Craft will soon head to the United
   Nations as U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy,where she will have to
   prove to skeptics that she is up to the task.

   Craft, 57, was confirmed by a slim majority that split along mostly
   partisan lines in the U.S. Senate earlier this week.

   The Kentucky native is married to Joe Craft, a billionaire coal
   executive, and they are well-known in Republican circles as major
   donors. In addition to contributing $1 million to Trump's 2016
   campaign, they have also supported several Republican senators.
