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.
