"Last month I and my husband retired to Traverse City year round. Over the years, I have had occasion to see Derek Bailey in action and have come to admire his leadership and his commitment to his own and the broader community. I think he has the experience, heart and charisma that make him an excellent candidate who would represent and fight for the values of the democratic party. This may not be a winnable campaign for him, but an investment that helps give him exposure would be well worth it. I have made a donation."
