The Michigan Democratic Party issued the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes regarding Senator Theis’ recent fundraising email.
“Regardless of your political affiliation, everyone should be as disgusted and as outraged as I am that Republican State Senator Lana Theis accused her colleague, State Senator Mallory McMorrow, of wanting to groom and sexualize kindergarteners. This is a sad commentary on how low the GOP is willing to go to try and win. Senator McMorrow is an outstanding advocate for public education, working families, and our most vulnerable citizens. To say or imply anything different is a lie. Senator Theis should be ashamed of herself. The people of Michigan deserve to have honest representation in their legislature. We won’t hold our breath waiting for an apology.”
