The home of former Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis, whose family Kitty Dukakis passed away on Friday after failing to win the 1988 presidential election, has announced her death. According to reports, memory problems caused the 88-year-old’s death. Dukakis was Massachutte’s second girl from 1975 to 1979 and again from 1983 to 1991. Dukakis battled depression and habit, which she mentioned in her narrative. She acknowledged that she struggled with alcohol after losing to her husband in the national vote.
Michael Dukakis launched his political campaign in Boston in March 1987, winning the Democratic nomination at the group’s agreement in Atlanta the following summer. Despite his efforts, George H.W. Bush, the incoming vice chairman, won the election.
Kitty Dukakis fought for a number of important issues, including climate protection, individual rights, and women’s rights. She was chosen by President Jimmy Carter to serve on the President’s Commission on the Holocaust and was instrumental in the establishment of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Moreover, she provided her knowledge to the Refugee Policy Group and Refugees International, as noted in her history on the website of Northeastern University’s Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy.
She made a local effect by serving as the director of Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and Graduate School of Design’s Programme on Public Space Partnerships from 1985 to 1989.
