MI Dem Senate Candidate Accused Of Hiding Half-A-Mil In Campaign Spending

A top Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan is being accused of hiding half a million in campaign spending in a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint filed by the Democrat-aligned PAC Defend the Vote (DTV).

Michigan Democratic state Senator Mallory McMorrow — considered a leading contender for the party’s US Senate nomination in the state — did not disclose over $500,000 “of campaign expenditures on paid fundraising ads that ran on Meta platforms in her FEC report filed for the first quarter of 2026,” according to DTV’s press release on the complaint.

“State Sen. Mallory McMorrow’s campaign has placed up to $773,904 of advertising on the platform Meta without disclosing sufficient payments made for the advertising or debt owed to cover the advertising costs,” the complaint alleges. “This glaring error in her public reports raises serious questions about her compliance with the Act’s reporting requirements. Worse, it raises reason to believe a corporate vendor may have illegally fronted those advertising costs for her campaign to inflate her reported cash on hand on filing day.”
