MI-SEN: Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow talks Senate campaign and book tour with WCPT's Richard Chew
On May 22, Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D) joined WCPT’s Richard Chew for a conversation that focused on her newly launched Senate campaign and book tour.
In the prior 60 days, McMorrow launched a campaign for U.S. Senate, hoping to fill the seat being vacated next year by Michigan Democrat Gary Peters. She also released a book, “Hate Won’t Win: Find Your Power and Leave This Place Better Than You Found It.”
The book’s title makes reference to the speech McMorrow delivered on the Michigan Senate floor in 2022, when she responded to a Republican Senate colleague’s baseless charges that she was seeking to “groom” and “sexualize” kindergartners and teach “that 8-year-olds are responsible for slavery.”
McMorrow told WCPT that since flipping a Republican state Senate district in 2018, she had become “used to being a [GOP] punching bag” and “had gotten to this place where I felt like I had let everybody down who had donated to my campaign, who had knocked doors for me, everybody who gave up their time and energy to help us do what a lot of people thought was impossible, taking on a Republican incumbent.”
