Meet Bailey
She is running to protect Michigander's against the GOP's extreme agenda
Aaron Bailey, born J Aaron Bailey, was born in Columbus, Ohio, and was the youngest of 10 siblings. Shortly after being born, CPS took custody, and she was sent to foster care, where she was eventually adopted at the age of three. The first three years of her life were tough, but they taught her resilience. After three years, a loving family eventually adopted her; her father was a truck driver, and her mother worked at Lowe's. Growing up in a lower-income household, her family did their best to improve her life. They did everything to ensure she had what she needed to be successful. But then disaster struck: her father was involved in a serious accident, forever changing him.​
As Bailey got older, she watched her parents struggle with mounting medical bills. Now, both retired, their ability to pay them was dwindling. From middle school until her high school graduation, Bailey was caught in the middle of it all. She watched as her parents fought tooth and nail just to afford the previous medical bills. Her family made it through, and this experience led Bailey to realize the importance of universal healthcare, which became an essential pillar of her campaign.​
This was the birth of Bailey's interest in politics.​
After high school and a gap year, Bailey went off to college, starting at Ohio State, moving to Bowling Green, and now finishing at Central Michigan University. As the economy fell into crisis, she has taken on two jobs to pay bills, ready to take on a third, to keep herself and her new family afloat.
Now attending Central Michigan University and angry at the GOP for recently stealing her health insurance, Bailey thought to herself, "What could she do? How could she fix it—not just for herself but for everyone?" It hit her: run for office and make the change happen that she wanted to see. She doesn't believe in Super PACs or being under the influence of billionaires. She believes in amplifying your voice, expanding your rights, increasing your wages, and ensuring no Michigander is left behind.
