Hillary and Tina cover former Bridgeport Connecticut Mayor Joe Ganim and former US Senator out of Oklahoma, Ralph Shortey.
Hillary’s Story
Joe Ganim wins the 1991 election to become Bridgeport, Connecticut’s 51st mayor after campaigning on a law and order platform. But, in 2000, when the FBI revealed that Ganim was a target of a three year investigation, the law and order mayor had to face the music.
Tina’s Story
Ralph Shortey served as US Senator out of Oklahoma's 44th district beginning in 2010. But, when police discover the senator in a hotel room with a minor, Shortey’s political career is cut short.
