Muskegon Heights campaign worker says she finally feels heard with Clinton coming to town

MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. — On Monday we learned former President Bill Clinton is coming to Muskegon Heights as part of a three-stop visit to Michigan on Wednesday, which also includes South Haven and Benton Harbor. 13 ON YOUR SIDE made unannounced stops to a Kamala Harris Campaign office in Muskegon Heights and the Muskegon County GOP to see what local campaign leaders have to say about Muskegon Heights getting a visit from a former president.

At the Harris office, located at the corner of Broadway Avenue and Peck Street, campaign workers call Patsy Petty their "queen." Petty said she's been working elections for 55 years, since she was just 21 years old.

"I love people. I'm about equality and justice for all and to make a difference in my community, and this is something that's dear to my heart," said Petty who is still working elections despite health issues.

"I can be in excruciating pain, and I can be in the bed, and something within this political realm will get me going, and I forget about it and I'm up moving around. I can't explain it, and it's something that's deep, embodied in my soul."
