Check out the interview with Hopkins County Attorney Todd P’Pool.
From CN2 Politics:
After filing his paperwork at the Secretary of State’s office at 10:20 a.m., P’Pool addressed the media and first explained the origins of his unusual name.
He said his family name was originally Pettypool but it was reduced to a shorthand version of P’Pool in the early 1800s.
P’Pool, 37, is a University of Kentucky graduate and was the first Republican since the Reconstruction Era elected to county-wide office in Hopkins County when he won in 2006.
He was a key player in the construction of the Wingshadow Lodge, a branch of Teen Challenge, which is a tax-exempt, faith-based organization that allows men fighting drug addiction to live and work at the facility outside of Dixon in western Kentucky.
