Today, Emily is exploring the more personal side of politics, with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Following her conversation with the governor in the fall, Emily is talking with the governor this Mother’s Day, about how she has navigated being a mother all while leading the state through a historic pandemic. After having protesters with semi-automatic weapons on her lawn, Governor Whitmer details the difficult conversations she has had with her daughters over the past year. And as a woman in politics, she dove into the importance of having women, especially mothers, as leaders.
