MI State Senator Mallory McMorrow On Her New Book, U.S. Senate Campaign, And America's Call to Action

After Googling “how to run for office” in the wake of the 2016 election, Mallory McMorrow took on an incumbent Republican State Senator and won, moving the seat 20 percentage points. When a right-wing state senator baselessly called her a “groomer”, she took to the floor in a now viral speech and declared "we will not let hate win.” NY Magazine called the speech “remarkable.” James Carville said it was “enormously effective.” The Atlantic wrote that it was “stunning.” After her viral speech, Mallory helped flip control of the Michigan Senate for the first time in 40 years, becoming the first woman Senate Majority Whip in state history. She has worked to strengthen unions and raise wages, eliminate the retirement tax on seniors, expand civil rights, repeal the state’s 1931 abortion ban, tackle gun violence, expand affordable housing, and feed kids in schools. She recently released her first book, HATE WON’T WIN Mallory is a major Democratic rising star, and she's in THE BACK ROOM sharing insights into her new book, her campaign for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat, and how Americans can take action to fight tyranny, hatred, bigotry and achieve real change in Washington.
