A candidate for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat apparently doesn’t like paying her utility bills.
Fox News reported that Mallory McMorrow went nearly a year without paying water or sewer bills on their million-dollar home in Royal Oak until Friday, when contacted by Fox News.
The bill grew to over $3,000 since June 2025 when accounting for late fees and unpaid bills, Fox reported.
In 2025, McMorrow sponsored Senate Bill 250, which aimed to create a water affordability program. The bill aimed to create the low-income water affordability program within the state health department to ensure an eligible customer didn't pay over three percent of the household income on a water bill.
That bill aimed to "identify alternative funding" for the program, which means raising taxes to fund "free" water for others.
Here is Mallory’s pool she didn’t pay her $3,000 water bill on for a year,

“A report in the Detroit Metro Times that year described the property — with a pool and outside courtyard — as a home “to marvel at.”

Living in a million dollar house without paying your bills, while trying to seem relatable to struggling Michiganders is exactly the sort of hypocrisy we’d expect from @MichiganDems like @MalloryMcMorrow.

But let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe Mallory is not paying… https://t.co/LWjAez6hwf pic.twitter.com/XhRFr0gOoR

McMorrow has campaigned on affordability and authenticity, but came under fire after she deleted thousands of tweets.
Many of these tweets insulted Michigan and the Midwest, claimed that "cars are dead," and contradicted a timeline she gave in a 2025 memoir.
McMorrow is running against U.S. Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (MI-11) and Abul El-Sayed.
A poll released earlier this week said that El-Sayed is leading the Democrat race.
