I'm Mallory McMorrow, and I'm running for the U.S. Senate. Point blank, we
need new leaders in Washington who will call out the bullshit.
[ [link removed] ]I’m going to share more about why I’m running. But before I do, if
you’re like me and are done with the BS coming from Washington, please
split a contribution between Stand Up and my campaign now.
Now I want to tell you a story. I never thought I’d be in politics. But
after the 2016 election, like a lot of us, I was fed up. Politics should
be about service, not self-interest. And not building up your own power by
tearing others down. So I googled “how to run for office.”
Seriously.
I took on a state Senate race in Michigan no one thought we could win. I
took on an incumbent state Senator who refused to do anything about the
epidemic of gun violence, who sided with corporate polluters over
protecting our clean water, and who didn’t represent us.
Democrats and Republicans counted me out because I was young. Because I
had never run for office before. Because it “wasn’t my turn.” But through
the help of over 500(!) local volunteers, I swung a Republican-held state
Senate seat 20 points and flipped a district that included Mitt Romney’s
home town. That victory sent me to the Michigan State Senate.
[ [link removed] ]My approach in the Michigan State Senate is the same approach I’ll take
in the U.S. Senate: no bullshit.
The system is broken and we should call it out. I’m a millennial. On the
whole, we’re the first generation to do worse than our parents. For
millions of people, it can feel like you’ve done everything right —
working hard in school, going to college or earning a skill or trade,
taking on one job, then a side-hustle, then a gig, building your entire
life around work and still barely getting by. It’s impossible to buy a
house. It’s too expensive to start a family. We look at our parents and
wonder where it all went wrong? The American Dream feels like a distant
past.
Democratic messaging usually sounds something like this: “Democrats are
fighting to help you put food on the table.”
Oy. Now look, of course that’s true, but that vision isn’t big enough. No
one aspires to just get by. We need to think bigger, dream bigger, and lay
out a vision for the New American Dream that people can see themselves in,
something they want to vote for.
Because being against Donald Trump is simply not enough.
It’s about a Michigan where you know you’ll have a tight-knit vibrant
community, where you’ll have restaurants, small businesses, and places to
go. It’s about creating a future where if you work hard, you will be able
to afford the life you dreamed of — to start a family, to buy that house,
rent where you want, have the car you want, have a fulfilling career, and
yes — maybe even have that little place Up North because you can afford a
vacation and time away to reset. And still put money away for retirement,
savings, or a college or house fund for your kids.
[ [link removed] ]Democrats have to get real. The status quo simply wasn’t working. But
while Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to burn it all to the ground, we
have to build something new. Something that actually works. For everyone.
I’m fed up with Democrats in DC who have completely missed how much people
were struggling. I’m fed up with the party of “Well, actually.” When we
told our party leaders that groceries and gas were too expensive, that
people were struggling to find the job they really wanted, that they felt
stretched too thin, what did Democrats do? Told them the economy was doing
great, actually.
So yes, even if the decisions made by our leaders staved off the worst of
a recession, people were still hurting. And we need to listen to them.
Voters know BS. I’ve called BS out in the State Senate and that’s what
I’ll do as U.S. Senator.
[ [link removed] ]If you’re done with the same old nonsense, split a donation between
Stand Up and my campaign and send a message to DC.
Right now, we’re at a crossroads. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to
overwhelm us. That’s their plan; they want us to feel powerless. But we
are not powerless.
The reality is, there’s a lot in common between this moment today, and
that moment in 2016 when I googled how to run for office. But what that
means is that we know exactly how to rise to this moment.
This is not a moment for weakness. This is the time to put our heads down
and get to work. That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate. This moment, and
what happens next, is on all of us. I will never try to convince you that
I have all the answers. Just voting for the right person isn’t going to
fix everything. But together, I know we can show Michigan — and the rest
of the country — how powerful we really are. Let’s create the future we
want to see, together.
[ [link removed] ]So please join us in building that future: split a contribution of
whatever you can between Stand Up and my campaign for U.S. Senate.
