Ideas with a spark, energy, range and the ability to start things.
Mallory McMorrow is a Michigan State Senator who gained national attention for her powerful rebuttal against accusations of grooming children. This interview highlights her ability to energize and engage constituents while advocating for progressive values and diversity in leadership.
“Try to help our constituents who are very diverse get through this horrible moment that our country and the rest of the world is facing right now where we don't let it boil over and hurt us at home. I mean, this is a community we're still reeling from.”
“In South Bend, yeah, in South Bend, Indiana, but all of our programs, it wasn't just about designing cars. It was about solving problems. And I really loved that.”
“That's right. I've talked to my mom a lot since the speech brought attention to me and to her and our background. And the more I've talked to her, the more that I've learned that there were a lot of things. She grew up in New Vernon, New Jersey.”
“I was born and raised in rural New Jersey in Hunter County near the Delaware water gap. So, you know, I was at one point fence judge for equestrian competitions and my mom wanted to get goats and we had chickens and my brother would work on the neighbor's farm. And I loved it.”
