We asked Senator Daley a few questions to learn more about him: 

    • What’s your favorite travel destination outside of Michigan?
      • A – I would have to say St Augustine, FL, our daughter and son-in-law reside there with five of our eight grandchildren.
    • What’s your favorite hobby other than politics?
      • A – I guess it would be what I have always considered my real job, the farm. Not only farming but also maintaining the buildings and properties involved in the farm.
    • What did you want to be when you were a kid?
      • A – I never remember wanting to do anything but farm! I worked alongside my mentor and friend, my dad, until he passed when I was 42 yrs old. I know I never dreamed at that time that I would ever be a State Senator!
    • What’s your favorite game to play or sport to watch and/or play?
      • A – I have never been a sports guy. I don’t really watch sports unless it’s a game with my grandchildren.
