Animosity toward Trump could elect record number of women in Michigan

Animosity toward Trump could elect record number of women in Michigan
By Dan Desai Martin - October 22, 20180 Comments144

In Michigan, Trump's deep unpopularity could bring historic changes.

Michigan women are ready to show the nation that the Women’s March that happened 22 months ago was the beginning, not the end, of a historic change in America’s political landscape.

“Michigan is poised to elect some of the biggest numbers of women in the state’s history,” reports the Detroit Free Press.

Ledat the top of the ticket by Gretchen Whitmer, who’s running for governor, and including women like Mari Manoogian, who’s running for the state House of Representatives, Democratic women are leading the way toward historic gains at the state level.

“Most of the increased number of women on the ballot are Democrats: eight in the U.S. House of Representatives compared with two Republicans; 17 in the state Senate compared with 10 GOP women, and 58 in the state House, compared with 34 Republicans,” reports the Free Press.
