If you were born and raised in politics and policy, could you make it back if you went to prison? Yes, Kandia Milton did, and he is now the Policy Director for Dream.org Justice. Kandia was born and raised in Detroit. He says he doesn't remember a life that did not involve politics. Kandia rose through the ranks in Detroit politics, being Deputy Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff to the Mayor, and Deputy Mayor of Detroit.
