So proud of @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social, a Sister District Project alum! States pass 23X more laws than Congress, making them a great pipeline for higher offices—45 of today's Senators started in states. #DidYouKnow ~50% of Presidents started as state lawmakers? #ItStartswithStates #ElectionsMatter
She will be the kind of straight-talking white suburban woman that the Democrat Party needs in its base . Not woke, but a honest to goodness person who takes no nonsense from Maga.
It means no need to pretend to what you are not. Woke is a tired word meaning all kinds of things including being hip, rebellious, maverick, lefty, being fucky on race, gender & sexuality, and what the stupid right considers non-white. Not woke means talk direct without being offensive.
So in other words, pretend as if Black women aren’t the core of the party’s base and its most consistent voting group?? This bullshit is the problem. Dems waste time chasing white people who have no intention on voting for them while abandoning loyal Black voters. You sound racist as hell.
Black women learned from experience of racism that that they curtsy no one for a living and they are right.
But being woke is trying to claim exclusivity of an experience that others cannot understand, which is doubtful. The Democrat Party cannot become a color-conscious platform like the GOP.
No the GOP is just out and out racist without any pretense. They use the label woke to describe progressives and the left because they simply accuse them of victimhood and wearing wokeness is a reverse form of an ism.
In what way was she woke? Just because she told Maga that she's not like them as a proud suburban mom is not being different from other normal people is being woke? I want to hear what woke means in your vocabulary.
Woke means *compassion* and empathy. It means thinking of vulnerable people and standing up for them.
If you ever heard her speak, you’d see she is definitely that.
Why is another word needed for compassion and empathy? It is not even a synonym if wokeness implies a kind of one-upmanship, a status symbol of experiencing injury or pain that others didn't.
I didn’t invent the word lol. Why do we have synonyms at all?
Just stop deflecting.
Bigots hijacked the word. That is NOT the implication of woke. Please understand that. Learn the word as it was intended and not how they pervert it.
I hope she will. But there will be massive competition, not limited to AG, Dana Nessel, known progressive Abdul El-Sayeed and one state senator who didn't launch yet, but was already endorsed by senator Stabenow
Hopefully, another patriotic"Female(Dem)Michiganian"will come forth and submit their bid&cast their hat 🧢 into the ring to become, Michigan's next US Senator&btw, its currently a"PRO-MAGA"US Sen seat that's(NOW)being used&deemed internationally as...A "Coin-Operated-Vending-Machine", amirite Gary?
Well, luckily for her, 97% of the country can go fuck itself, for all she cares, because she's running for the senate in Michigan, where she's elected official
Awesome. I know the conventional wisdom is that incumbency is a strength, but I feel a lot more optimistic about her than if Gary Peters was running again.
One of few Dem politicians who impress me is Mallory McMorrow. Forthright and unafraid to push back against political nonsense, her state senate leadership has already been effective for MI.
I like her - she will have to build a base outside of DTW burbs. I can :live rent free in Mi, so maybe I need to reserve my Summer-Fall 26 sched for an extended MI stay .... I also know rural MI pretty well :)
Now that may be one dem who I won't respond to text message with "stop"
If I get a donation ask. The rest of them are hard no until they start kicking some gop ass
It's now time for all Michiganders
#Michigan #MI to support Mallory McMorrow. Her bid for the open senate seat in Michigan is an important move to bringing balance back to our country & sanity back to our government.🗳️🇺🇸
A lot of the 2026 candidates and would be candidates have not announced yet. So as they announce we will start to support, donate, volunteer where we're needed.
That crossed my mind, too. 🙂 But then I thought, well that wouldn't make sense if he were to run for POTUS 'cause Senate to POTUS is a better path than from DOT. But if he had run & won Senate 2026, he wouldn't have time to campaign for the 2028 election which would like start in 2027. Who knows! 🤷♀️
He gave a detailed description of why he dropped out on Substack. I do think he's electable. I think you're wrong. We each have to choose how much we're willing to give and at what points in our life we are willing to give it.
I could be wrong. But if his supporters can't articulate why he'd be a winner, all I can do is go on what I do know about him as the DOT head and former Mayor. And honestly, I doubt he dropped out for the reasons stated. If anything, he likely dropped out because it wasn't looking good for him.
He would be viewed as a carpet bagger (note he alludes to the just 5 years he has lived there), and so would squander that opportunity. His profile is national, not primarily Michigan.
He is an ambitious politician who aspires for higher office. But, it wouldn’t be fair for the voters if he’s only planning to stay for 1.5 years before running in 2028.
That or he just doesn’t feel like he’s rooted enough in Michigan politics to beat out other good candidates. My 2 cents
Yes. I get that. And that may very well be the reason he decided to not run. I am now at a toss up between thinking it's one of the two reasons you just stated. LOL
He is hoping to run for President, He does not want to run for Senator, win, and then run for President a very short time after that. He Knows Michigan has a deep Democratic bench of Women who want to run for that Senate seat. He does not want to mess that up.

What the fuck does that even mean?

She’s the best because she’s fiercely woke. Re learn that word.
To be "woke" means someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality - Merriam-Webster Dictionary states.
If you ever heard her speak, you’d see she is definitely that.

“We will not let hate win’
She’s a true leader, morally, politically, logically.
❤️❤️❤️

Extraordinary.
When everyone was calling for Pete Buttigieg to run for the seat I was hoping for Mallory McMarrow.
IF WE COME TOGETHER & and WORK TOGETHER,
we can pull the weeds
that threaten to destroy our land! I hope and pray you understand.
We cannot reap a good harvest with
a bunch of bad seeds!
WAKE UP AMERICA!

Now, who is going up against Jack “the ghost” Bergman?

Sounds like a recent Presidential candidate that Michiganders said "no thanks" to.
