The race for Michigan’s open Senate seat has its first high-profile candidate.
Mallory McMorrow, a Democrat who flipped a state Senate seat in 2018 and gained national attention in 2022 with a viral floor speech, launched her campaign Wednesday to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
Speaking directly to camera in her announcement video, McMorrow, 38, acknowledged “fear and anger and uncertainty about people in power who frankly have no business being there.” But the “same old crap out of Washington” won’t fix it, she said.
