WOOF!! HI, HUMAN!! 🐾 It’s your best girl here, Bailey!!
I’m the official campaign dog for Haley Stevens, certified good girl, professional napper, coney dog-tasting expert, and emotional support animal to the entire Team Haley pack.
I have to say, there is something WILD happening at headquarters right now. The humans keep telling each other the primary is in TWO DAYS. I do not know what that means. I think it has to do with voting, which dogs cannot do (yet).
But the energy here is weird. It’s like, I am trying to get my normal 15 to 16 hours of sleep, and the vibes are sorta squirrel-like. Meaning everybody is running around and barely taking a long break to pet me and snuggle me. Weird. Because I’m adorable and I love them.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE. Humans I have never met before are coming in, and they sit down at tables with phones and lists. They go out into the Michigan sun. They talk about meeting voters. They smile and laugh, and they eat coney dogs standing up. Sometimes they sneak me little bits (and I have to say this personal gift is amazing, and I am accepting it with grace).
My mom is a literal angel. Katelyn – Haley’s finance director – has not sat down in furever. She keeps saying, “Two days. We need support these next two days.” Everyone keeps saying it. TWO DAYS. TWO DAYS. Ugh.
I do not know how long two days is. I am a dog. Is that one nap? Is it forty naps? Nobody will tell me, and frankly, I don’t think they know either.
But here’s the thing. The vibes right now are intense – but happy? Human people are complicated. Everyone is filled with joy but also kinda anxious. I’m like, PICK A LANE, HUMAN!
So in my official position as campaign dog, I want to get human-level serious for a second.
I LOVE everyone on this campaign. And I’m so proud of them. I’ve been under the desk and at the events and all over the place for all of it. I’ve seen Haley at events with hundreds of people, and she talks to every single one of them like they’re the only person in the room. That’s literally her favorite thing – talking to Michiganders. (I prefer sniffing, but whatever.) I can tell, Haley LOOOVES people almost as much as I do.
And they love her, humans. I can smell it. I would not lie to you about this because I am a dog. I don’t know how to lie.
Haley works so hard. AND she always has time to give me pets. Honestly, her hustle makes me tired, and I have twice as many legs.
So I guess what I’m saying is that on Tuesday, the humans of Michigan get to decide if she wins the primary and gets closer to going to the Senate. TUESDAY. That’s what we’re running toward.
So here’s what my mom says we need in these last two days:
They need to talk to as many Michiganders as they can before Tuesday. Calls, texts, doors, all of it. And doing that takes human dollars (aka money), which I don’t understand at all, but on behalf of the people I love: If you’re able to chip in before Tuesday, this would be a PAWS-itively perfect moment. Like, if you could give $10 or $1,000, that would be great. I think? I’m not sure. I don’t have a good concept of how much that is.
ALSO! My queen of a mom keeps telling people this, and I’m going to tell you so she gives me a treat: If you’re a Michigander, VOTE ON TUESDAY.
Dogs STILL do not get to participate in democracy, which I strongly disagree with. So I’m counting on you.
I love Haley Stevens, I love this pack, and I love the humans of Michigan who smell like coney dogs, sunscreen, and hard work.
Two more sleeps, everybody! Go vote! Give human money if you can!
OK, I have to go now. A volunteer just opened a bag of something meaty, and it is critical that I supervise.
I LOVE YOU!
Bailey 🐶

A personal note from Haley 👋
I’m a lifelong Michigander and the daughter of small-business owners. I’ve spent my career fighting for Michigan’s working families – and now I’m running for the U.S. Senate to keep standing up for the people I love.
But here’s the truth: Senate control could come down to Michigan. And Trump and his megadonors know it. That’s why they’re gearing up to spend tens of millions to defeat me and hand this seat to a MAGA Republican.
I need your help to fight back. This race will be one of the most competitive – and expensive – in the country, and I’m counting on grassroots support to win.
If you’re with me, will you chip in today?
