On this Election Day - Here's a question worth exploring: where are the women in Michigan politics?
The number of women in the State Legislature has now dropped to a 20 year low. There are only four women serving in the Senate, and 24 in the House.
And that puts Michigan at 36th in the nation in terms of female State Senators and Representatives.
And when you look to Washington, the gender ratio in Congress isn't much better.
