we have a native daughter of michigan, worn and brought up in my hometown, flint michigan, home of the flintstones. [laughter] she was born in the old women's hospital, like former lieutenant governor jim brinkley and like me. women's hospital doesn't exist anymore but sara went to school part of her youth at bentley school and then unfortunately her father, who worked for gm, was transferred several times and places to rochester new york and to the bloomfield hills area but sara's older sister sue fitzgerald is a graduate of flint central high school. there is a big michigan connection there in the big thing about our speaker tonight, our author is that sara fitzgerald was the first female editor-in-chief of the michigan daily. that was really something. so she was a pioneer in journalism for women as an undergraduate in college and it kind of fits right into what i think she sensed when she first saw elly peterson and if i'm not mistaken i think it was on tv in 1964 during the republican national convention and sara was just a 13-year-old schoolgirl, bloomfield hills. and she was awe

senate from michigan. that was back in 1964 when there were only two women senators, both of whom had entered congress when they were appointed to fill the seats of their late husbands. she was the first woman to chair a state republican party. in 1965 people around the country thought she was, in fact, the first woman to chair any state party. this was at a time when the chairman of the republican national committee would not permit a female vice chair to fill in if male party chair could not attend the meetings. it was at a time when the finance committee of the michigan republican party held its meetings at male-only clubs. in 1976 peterson was recruited to be co-chair of era america, the coalition of dozens of national organizations that worked to ratify the equal rights amendment. and that same year she served as deputy chairman of the president ford committee which according to my research was at that time the highest professional job that a woman had ever held in a major presidential campaign. in re

he's right about michigan. most people don't go to michigan. you never pass through it because we're on a peninsula. so you don't drive across lake huron or lake michigan on your way east or west. so the only time you might be in michigan is if you're from there or you have relatives there or you're changing planes in detroit. that's most people's encounter with michigan. we are in a depression. we have been in a depression for years. not a recession. we've essentially had a one-state depression. it is brutal. up in northern michigan, where i live, rural areas in this last year or so, the official unemployment rate in some counties has been 16, 18, 20%. officially. so you know it's higher. you know it's much higher than that. and there's an elementary school near where i live where 79% of the school children are eligible for the federal school lunch program, meaning their family lives in poverty. 79%. this is not in downtown detroit or flint. this is up in the woods of northern michigan. it is rough. it is difficult. there are many reasons for

michigan is a skk story. washington provided some certainty around the auto bailout, but there's a sustained commitment by the private sector to invest in innovation and research and development. they rebounded in 2010 to add 2,700 jobs. so the region is really focusing on innovation. that's leading their economic recovery. >> would it be a stretch to say michigan could be on track to be a silicon valley of the midwest? >> they are heading in that direction. they would put together a blueprint on how to be a sill can valley. they have the right mixture. the congress yesterday when they passed the free trade agreements took a giant step forward. michigan exports $2 billion a year in exports. they are eighth in the nation in consumer electronics. so i think the south korean agreement would benefit michigan. it supports about 10,000 michigan jobs. hi high-tech exports in the region. >> as we were just hearing, the white house going to detroit tomorrow with south korea's president. the state has been losing jobs
