State Senator Mallory McMorrow of Michigan has officially entered the U.S. Senate race, becoming the first major candidate since Senator Gary Peters announced his retirement. McMorrow's entry comes at a time when control of the chamber is at stake, particularly in a state that has shown a mix of Democratic and Republican support in recent years. Her campaign highlights her advocacy for liberal values and her background as a suburban mom. The race is expected to draw other Democratic candidates and will be closely watched as it may impact the broader political landscape.
Ms. McMorrow, 38, said in her announcement video. The same people in D.C. who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.
Ms. McMorrow won Democrats' acclaim several years ago for defending liberal values while identifying herself as a straight, white, Christian, married suburban mom.
She flipped a Republican-held district in 2018 and is the first woman to become State Senate majority whip, her campaign has noted.
Whoever emerges from the Democratic primary, the race is expected to be competitive in the general election.
