Conversation with Campaign Volunteer
Hello Michigan: Conversation with Campaign Volunteer
"Last night I had the most delightful conversation with a young man who was out going door to door campaigning for Mary Valentine, Candidate for Michigan State Senate, 34th District.
That would be my district."
