Bridget Mary McCormack For Michigan Supreme Court Justice

November promises to bring us an exciting election on many levels. No race will be more important for the ‘people’ of Michigan than the campaign for Justice of our Michigan Supreme Court. Three of the seven seats will be up for your consideration. The two men in the race don’t have what it takes when compared to the women candidates. I have been involved in Michigan judicial campaigns for almost three decades. I have never been more impressed with a candidate for Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court than I have with Bridget Mary McCormack.
