SHOW ME THE MONEY

Democratic state Senate candidate Mallory McMarrow of Royal Oak is challenging incumbent state Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R-Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Rochester, Rochester Hills) in November for his 13th District state Senate seat. Knollenberg, a strong fundraiser, has raised $142,823 during this election cycle but he’s already spent more than $114,000. McMarrow, a political newcomer in a traditionally Republican district, is showing she is capable of gathering cash from her district, too, as well as from all over the country, raising $47,249, which includes personal contributions from herself, which total about $19,295, and she has about $34,573 cash on hand.
