We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Thank you, Michigan. 🇺🇸

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

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 We repealed Michigan's abortion ban.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.

250 years ago, our Founders built something new: a nation governed by the people, endowed with the unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

The work toward a "more perfect union" is far from finished. At 250, it's just beginning. It's on all of us to keep it alive. 🇺🇸

People are nervous about the progression of AI in our everyday lives.

Washington whipped on regulating social media and Big Tech with devastating consequences.

We cannot afford to make the same mistake with AI.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Trump's DOJ quietly closed its criminal investigation into an Abbott formula plant tied to contaminated baby formula and two infant deaths.

Abbott Laboratories gave Trump's inauguration $500,000.

The Gordie Howe Bridge remains closed weeks after the ribbon cutting was abruptly canceled and Trump railed against its opening.

The Maroun family who owns the competing bridge gave a Trump Super PAC $1 million.

There’s a pattern here. Donors above all else.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

We have to start regulating AI and Big Tech like the product it is.

We’ve made some great progress in Michigan, but we need our federal partners to do the same.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

When we get to Washington here’s what we’ll do:

✅ Fight Trump’s Corruption
✅ Protect our Kids and Families

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

If you send me to Washington, this is what I’ll fight for:

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Like AG @dananessel said, when the federal government refuses to regulate AI and keeps the same CEOs who fight against any sensible regulations too close, it’s on states like Michigan to step up to lead.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

We have to open the Gordie Howe Bridge.

The failure to open the bridge is a stunning example of corruption under Donald Trump.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Michiganders don't see themselves in political boxes, and neither do I.

That's why so many people can see themselves in this campaign.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

NEW: Officially endorsed by IBEW Local 17.

Let’s go!

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Totally agree Mike, lets start with the grifter-in-chief and close the loophole that allowed you to make millions as a “consultant” after you left Congress for the same industries who showered you with corporate PAC donations while you were in office.

[Mike Rogers @MikeRogersForMI]

Political corruption is rampant in the federal government, and I’m the only candidate with the experience to fix it.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Everyday prices are too high, and Michigan families are feeling the impact of Trump's tariffs.

Trump’s tariffs are a policy failure and a tax on hardworking Michiganders. And yet another example of an administration who charges forward without bringing all stakeholders to the table to understand the ramifications BEFORE taking action.

We need a US Senator who has the experience to fight back and build policy the right way.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

This Presidency is nothing but a grift operation, and while so many Michiganders wonder where the jobs or the lower costs he promised are, Trump has already made $1B off of his second term.

The only way forward is to relentlessly go after this corruption and ensure no public official uses their office or position to enrich themselves.

Trump made more than $1 billion on crypto deals last year, a new disclosure report shows https://t.co/uZH7OUJCOz

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

We should take Trump’s threats to our elections seriously – but we shouldn’t let him scare us out of voting.

In Michigan, we’ve made it easier and safer to vote. So find your polling place, sample ballot, and absentee and early voting info at https://t.co/wb6496BIYz - and make sure to vote by August 4th!

The same court that torched Roe, handed the President a get-out-of-jail-free card, and took a chainsaw to the Voting Rights Act, just decided that a billionaire who’s legally capped at giving $7,000 to Mike Rogers’ campaign can now give the party $132,900 to spend directly on Mike Rogers anyway. They’re calling it, “free speech.” The Supreme Court has turned into Donald Trump’s law firm at this point. Stop pretending it’s neutral. Expand the court.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

Why was a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the Gordie Howe bridge abruptly canceled a few weeks back? The Trump administration won’t say.

Meanwhile, what we do know is that the billionaire owners of the competing Ambassador bridge donated a million bucks to a Trump super PAC, swiftly got a meeting with Howard Lutnick, and then all of the sudden the President began railing against the Gordie Howe bridge and threatening to keep it closed.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

We must document every single rule and norm that Trump has violated — that is not illegal but should be — and pass it into law.

We cannot have someone else come in and abuse this office the way that Donald Trump has ever again.
