As a twelve-year-old in 1952, Kit placed "I Like Ike" stickers in Audubon Stables. When she turned twenty-one, she registered with the Republican Party and was on the staff of the 1968 [[Republican National Convention]] in Miami Beach, [[Florida]], which nominated the first [[Richard Nixon|Nixon]]-[[Spiro Agnew|Agnew]] ticket. She is mentioned in the book ''The Boys on the Bus,'' an account of the presidential race that year by Timothy Crouse. Wisdom worked on Republican events with later [[U.S. Representative]] [[Newt Gingrich]], formerly of [[Georgia]], while Gingrich was a graduate student in [[history]] at [[Tulane University]] in New Orleans. She was a source for author Mel Steeley's biography of Gingrich, ''Gentleman from Georgia.'' While still living in New Orleans, she was a founding member of Jeunesse d'Orléans, an organization of young adults interested in cultural events, including a charity ball at the New Orleans Museum of Art in July 1965. When she relocated to [[New York City]], she served on the staffs of two liberal Republican officials, [[U.S. Senator]] [[Jacob Javits]] and [[Mayor]] [[John V. Lindsay]]. She was a volunteer with the New York Police Department Mounted Unit. Later, she relocated from the [[Manhattan]] [[borough]]  to the small [[New England]] town of Shrewsbury, [[Vermont]], where she had space for horses, dogs, and cats. Like her mentor, Mayor Lindsay, she switched to the [[Democratic Party]] and became an acolyte of two-time Democratic presidential candidate, [[Bernie Sanders]],<ref name=obit/> a [[U.S. Senator]] from Vermont who technically calls himself an [[Independent voter|Independent]] but is considered a [[socialist]] by most [[conservative]]s..
