Despite the generally poor election year for Republicans, and his winning by only about 1.5% of the votes cast, Kinder carried 102 of Missouri's 114 counties.〔 In 2012, once again the only Republican to win statewide, Kinder was re-elected as the first lieutenant governor to be elected to a third term in Missouri since 1940. In July 2015, Kinder announced his entry into the 2016 Missouri governor's race.〔 ==Education and early career== Kinder was born and raised in Cape Girardeau, the son of pediatrician James A. Kinder, Jr. and Mary Frances Hunter Kinder. He attended Cape Girardeau Public Schools and then attended Southeast Missouri State University and the University of Missouri in Columbia.〔 He graduated from St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas in 1979 and was admitted to the Missouri Bar in 1980.〔 In 1972, fresh out of high school, Kinder worked for former U.S. Sen. Jack Danforth's re-election bid for Missouri attorney general. After graduating from law school at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, Kinder managed Bill Emerson's successful 1980 campaign for U.S. Congress. It was the first time a Republican won in southeast Missouri for U.S. Congress since 1928. After law school Kinder served as a member of the late U.S. Representative Bill Emerson's staff in Washington, D.C. from 1980 to 1983.〔 He returned to Missouri and worked as an attorney and real estate specialist for hotel developer Charles Drury of Drury Industries.〔 In 1987 Kinder became associate publisher of the ''Southeast Missourian'' newspaper, where he wrote weekly columns and editorials.〔 Southeast Missouri Hospital in Cape Girardeau dedicated its Department of Pediatrics in memory to his father James A. Kinder, M.D. who died on July 1, 2000. His mother, who died on January 4, 2008, sang duets with the mother of Rush Limbaugh for 50 years; Rush Limbaugh attended the funeral.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rush Remembers: Mary Frances Hunter Kinder )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Kinder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
