MI-SEN: McMorrow turns in Senate campaign signatures to get on Michigan ballot

State Senator Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak) turned in nominating petition signatures Monday in her campaign for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat.

Polling has consistently shown the Democratic Senate primary race to be close between McMorrow, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11), and former Wayne County Health Director Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.

Both of McMorrow's main opponents have each carved their own political lanes through supporting moderate and progressive policies, respectively.

Stevens is a member of the House Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan group “committed to advancing common-sense solutions to key issues facing our nation.” Meanwhile, El-Sayed supports policies like Medicare for All and has been endorsed by Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, a foundational leader in American progressive politics.
