Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel released the following statement:
“Mallory McMorrow is an amazing public servant and leader. From the moment I recruited her to run for State Senate, I knew she had the passion to win tough races—but what struck me most is her selflessness.
“I was on the Senate floor when Mallory gave her now-famous ‘hate won’t win’ speech. While others could have used a viral moment to help themselves, she used it to help build the first Democratic majority in the State Senate in 40 years.
“Because of Mallory and the work of countless others, Michiganders’ lives are better. Democrats passed the largest tax cut for working families in history, brought 30,000 children out of poverty, restored collective bargaining rights, and so much more.
“Mallory’s campaign might be ending, but her fight isn’t. Michiganders will support their candidates in the primary, and then we will all come together to elect Democrats up and down the ballot—and I know Mallory will help lead us forward in that effort.”
