My state is looking up. Grethen Whitmer is now giving her first Michigan State of the State Address

and just pointed out that we have the most diverse cabinet in Michigan history. Also historic: the Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court are all women. And, last but not least, we have our first African American Lieutenant Governor. We're on our way to repairing years of republican damage. I hope that we can ungerrymander our districts enough to stop the stranglehold the republicans on the legislature.
