Mallory McMorrow to Run for Senate

Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D), who flipped a GOP district in 2018 and once went viral for a speech she made, announced she’s running for U.S. Senate next year, the Detroit Free Press reports.

“Her entry into the race — which she has teased in recent days on cable TV as she spoke about her book, Hate Won’t Win: Find Your Power and Leave This Place Better Than You Found It, in which she extols people to remain politically active — gives the race to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) its first major candidate, one who can both raise substantial amounts of money and has developed a national brand as a passionate voice for her party.”
