Yen Bailey Explained

Yen Bailey, born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, is a Tallahassee based attorney who is the Democratic nominee in the 2024 election for Florida's 2nd Congressional District.[1]

Yen Bailey was named the Democratic nominee for FL CD-2 after the previous candidate withdrew due to personal health issues. This was a strange technicality that was allowed by Florida state statute. The Florida Democratic Party had a meeting of all Democratic state-committee members in FL CD-2 to nominate Bailey.[2] Bailey is running against incumbent Representative Neal Dunn.
