The Democratic Governor is still part of the old guard probably planted in the seat by industry. Many of her age are techies and artists who uses subways and other means of mass transit. She is now beginning to pay little attention of the need for mass transit for Michigan to help make it a more attractive State for younger people to move to. Gilbert is fighting against a powerful old oligarchy which want to keep Michigan including Detroit shells within themselves.
