A top Michigan state lawmaker announced on Tuesday that she would be passing on a bid to run for Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair, saying in a video posted on social media that she believed some of the ideas she was mulling could be better achieved by not running.

“There are a lot ideas that I have circulating about, tapping into the incredible network of Democrats we have all across this country in elected office at all levels of the ballot to help uplift their voices, get into the cultural conversation and really change the narrative,” Michigan State Senate Majority Whip Mallory McMorrow (D) said in her video.

“And that is something that I think I can do better outside of the position of DNC chair.”

McMorrow has been seen as a rising star within the party. She garnered headlines in 2022 for a speech she made criticizing a GOP colleague of hers, who had accused her in a fundraising email of grooming and sexualizing kindergarteners.
