"I think we’ve seen this throughout Michigan now and politics, we're seeing women at the very highest offices. We are occupying those seats in the halls of power, and I think it really sends a strong signal." When asked if she thought she would be making history for women, she said no. "I've been a little bit surprised by my success," she said. Brinks, 54, says that success came from hard work and perseverance. Since last week's decision, the senate majority leader elect says women have reached out, sharing what this moment means for them. "It's really fun these days to check my email and see how much this means to other people. It’s not just me.
