On WestSouthwest, we discuss the state of the race with two Western Michigan University Political Science Professors. And Democrat John Fisher is running again for state House in the district that includes Portage.

With 12 days to go before Election Day, Western Michigan University Political Science Professors John Clark and Peter Wielhouwer discuss where the Presidential race stands in Michigan and nationally. And what that could mean for races down the ballot.

John Fisher ran for state House in the 61st district two years ago. The Democrat is challenging Republican Representative Brand Iden, who won the race in 2014.
