In this urgent expansion of her viral speech, Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow details a life in politics in one of the most precarious moments in our nation’s history – alongside a call to action to use our voices—with actionable steps and advice that anyone can take—to build community, fight for what's right, and create real, lasting change.

Mallory McMorrow was on the verge of giving up. Once the youngest state senator in Michigan's history—a title she assumed after defeating an incumbent in one of the biggest political upsets of 2018—the work of legislating was nothing like she’d hoped. She knew it wouldn’t be easy, but she wasn’t expecting an insidious culture of sexual harassment, armed protestors storming the state Capitol, or colleagues who had zero interest in reaching across the aisle to get anything meaningful done.

And things really needed to get done. A new mother to a baby girl, Mallory was as worried as the rest of us about the state of our country and the world. School shootings, dire climate reports, natural disasters, escalating political violence and extremism, a plummeting life expectancy and birth rate, crippling student and healthcare debt, the rolling back of reproductive rights… the list was overwhelming. Where could one even start?

But then fate forced her hand. A Senate colleague had called her a “groomer” for standing up for LGBTQ+ kids and against attempts to whitewash history in our schools.  In response, Mallory delivered a blistering rebuke with a speech from the Michigan Senate floor that reverberated throughout the country (and the world), leading many long-jaded political pundits to hail Mallory’s action as a “blueprint” for fighting back. Here, Mallory breaks down her unlikely journey into politics with a front-row seat to conspiracy theories, division, and democracy at its breaking point, then outlines the tangible, proven steps that she and others have used to drive real systemic change, with practical advice that anyone can follow.

Hate Won’t Win is a step-by-step guide for anyone who’s fed up with the unending nightmare of American politics who wants to make a real difference but has no idea where to start. It’s a book with a big goal: to empower anyone and everyone to find their voice and find their power to leave this place better than we found it and create the communities and country we want to see.

About the Author

Mallory McMorrow is a State Senator from Michigan who you most likely know as “that woman with the speech” after she delivered a blistering rebuke to a colleague who baselessly accused her of being a “groomer” in 2022. But years before the speech heard ‘round the world, she was a one-time car designer, creative director, and writer who became so fed up with politics and our country’s sad state of affairs that she Googled “how to run for office” in the wake of the 2016 election and took on an incumbent Republican State Senator-son-of-a-Congressman and won, delivering one of the most stunning political upsets in Michigan in 2018 as a first-time-candidate.
 
She became the first woman Senate Majority Whip in state history, and only the second Senator in state history to give birth while in office. She’s an ardent supporter of policies protecting reproductive rights, voting rights, and gun violence prevention – most notably as the lead bill sponsor of Michigan’s Extreme Risk Protection Order – or “red flag” – law, which was her first bill ever signed into law five years after first being sworn into office. 
She holds a patent for a ride-on toy that shoots sparks she helped develop during her time as a designer at Mattel, her name is on a Hot Wheels car, and she is deeply passionate about helping others learn how to navigate politics and find their own power to make things right. Her writing has appeared in Road & Track, Jalopnik, Jezebel, The New York Times, NBC News, CNN, and The New Republic. HATE WON’T WIN is her first book.
 
Mallory graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in industrial design and has lived all over the country before settling down in Royal Oak, Michigan with her husband, Ray, and gray-old-lady rescue dog named Detroit. They have one daughter, Noa, who declared herself at three years old “The Senator of Mallory McMorrow” which feels accurate given Noa is the best negotiator in the family.
