Women hold about a third of public offices in Utah. That's according to new data released by the Women and Leadership Project at Utah State University, which looked at the highest executive positions down to each individual city council seat.

In this Deep Dive, guest host Heather Peterson speaks with Dr. Susan Madsen, Director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project, about their report and how she sees the state of women in politics here in Utah. Midday Executive Producer Andy Cupp joins the conversation and shares a recorded interview between himself and Erin Rider, a former candidate for Congress and the Salt Lake County Mayor, who talks about what it's like to run for office as a woman.
