Bailey walks everywhere in Mount Pleasant because she doesn't have a car. But Mount Pleasant has also long been a battleground for LGBTQ+ civil rights. I'm a renter, I'm trans, I'm bisexual — so I'm all the queer things — and I want to bring that to the forefront of issues. A dedicated public transportation system is key to that — we don't actually have real bus lines, just a call-the-bus service. J. Aaron "Lola" Bailey is running for Mount Pleasant City Commission in the August 4 primary.
