I know everyone who just received that Mallory McMorrow for Michigan email about her canvassing with legislative candidates thought it was an endorsement announcement

Breaking: In a 6-1 ruling, the Michigan Supreme Court tosses out the Public Service Commission's approval of Line 5 tunnel construction permits.

@kimmilynn @umichvoter Checked in with the city clerks here yesterday and they confirmed low so far. It should pick up with early voting over here!

[AmandaTreppa @AmandaTreppa]

@kimmilynn @umichvoter Apologies I should’ve said I was speaking on our district. They’re low in the district I’m running to serve right now SD-10. Thank you for giving the info for people to visit their Dropbox! I’d love them to get their ballots in asap! 🙌🏾

Not to be lost in the Friday news dump mix: Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers is recommending certification of a petition initiative that would bar political spending by Michigan’s regulated utilities and large state contractors if approved by voters in November.

Stop acting like people wanting stable jobs, affordable homes, good schools, and leaders who put our communities first are lofty ideals. Those are literally the basics.

[AmandaTreppa @AmandaTreppa]

@umichvoter 💯 Absolutely infuriating.

[Sam Robinson @samueljrob]

Democratic politicians and candidates are criticizing Gov. Whitmer for vetoing bills passed by House Democrats in 2024, forced to her office by the MI Supreme Court after being stalled by Republicans.

[Jocelyn Benson @JocelynBenson]

I’m tired of these political games. Teachers, nurses, corrections officers, and so many others spent years fighting for relief, only to have leaders they trusted pull the rug out from underneath them.

I look forward to signing these bills into law as governor. And I'll take on anyone, no matter how rich or powerful, who stands in the way.

Thank you, Michigan. 🇺🇸

Today, I'm announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate.

And I'm doing it with a deep, deep sense of gratitude. For our thousands of volunteers, for everyone who donated what you could — building a campaign with zero corporate PAC dollars. For my staff, who built this team up from nothing. I thank you.

For my family. For Ray, who believed in me long before I ever believed in myself. And for Noa. Our five-year-old, who presses her hands up against the window to wave goodbye every morning when I leave for work.

"Remember, Mom," she reminded me recently. "It's not about if you win. It's about trying hard and having fun."

She's right. So I want to be very clear about what this announcement is not. I may be suspending this campaign, but I am not leaving the fight.

I never planned on politics. After the 2016 election, I felt lost. I picked up my phone and typed five words into the search bar: "How to run for office."

And here's what I learned: when regular people get in the fight, things can change. In my very first election, we flipped a district against the incumbent. Four years later — with so many of you — we flipped the Michigan Senate for the first time in nearly forty years.

And we didn’t stop at winning. We repealed Michigan's abortion ban. We raised wages. We made sure every child gets breakfast and lunch at school. We made it easier to go to college. We expanded civil rights and voting rights. And so, so much more.

These wins took thousands of us — showing up every single day, refusing to give up when there were setbacks. That's why I'm staying in this fight. And why I need you to stay in it with me.

Now, I haven’t been shy about calling for new leadership and a better Democratic Party. I mean it. The energy is there. People are crying out for change. And we owe it to them to listen.

Then we need to build it up, together, from the ground up.

So here's what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support.

Then, let’s elect Jocelyn Benson as our next Governor. Let’s flip the State House, and expand our majority in the State Senate. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket and show the rest of this country what it means to fight like Michigan.

Ten years ago, I started this work heartbroken, typing five words into a search bar. And I learned the only thing that has ever really changed this country: ordinary people who love something enough to fight for it.

I love this country. I love Michigan. And I love the little girl who waves at me from the window every morning, trusting the grown-ups to leave her a state and a country worth inheriting.

That's who I'm fighting for.

And I'm not going anywhere. I hope you'll join me.

Mop Up Michigan says it will turn in "over 500,000 petition signatures" this morning in Lansing for a potential ballot proposal that would ban political spending by regulated utilities and large state contractors.

Fuck DTE. We’ve been doing the work to fight them at Detroit Action for years- we’re sick of this bullshit. Why don’t you guys ask that CEO who made 11 million last year for the money. Just an idea.

[WXYZ Detroit @wxyzdetroit]

DTE Energy is asking the Michigan Public Service Commission to approve a nearly $500 million electric rate increase less than two months after a nearly $250 million increase went into effect on March 6. https://t.co/tYweZnPUCv
