Description: "Statistically, factually, despite the bias that exist in our society, women have more wealth than men in this country. That's just a fact." |
Nodler is running for a U.S. Congress seat in Southwest Missouri.
In response, Democratic Senator Joan Bray says there are few women that control all of that wealth.
