“I’m running to be the next Governor of Michigan to ensure everyone gets a fair shot.

“I'm a mom, military spouse, former teacher, and Secretary of State.

“I’ve never backed down from a tough fight or hard work. That's why I know that together, we can build the future Michigan deserves.”

– Jocelyn Benson

#JocelynBenson confirmed her involvement in the letter-writing campaign…

Benson also confirmed that she had launched an investigation into a #ElonMusk-backed #PAC, called the America PAC, which is supporting #Trump

Benson’s concern is the detailed #VoterInformation that the PAC collected from people living in #Michigan & other battleground states through a section of the website that says “register to vote.”

Dems say new Michigan voting rights bills strengthen democracy

The state House in Michigan voted through a handful of bills aimed at addressing different elements of the voting process to ensure every eligible voter can participate in elections.

The bills address maintaining online voter applications, voting rights for military spouses, as well as eliminating certain parts of the state’s voting laws with the goal of allowing increased access to voters on Election Day.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued a statement Wednesday after the House voted on the legislation, saying the bills strengthen democracy in the state.

“At a time when voting rights are under attack at the federal level and in other states, I’m proud that Michigan is a leader in protecting and strengthening our fundamental right to participate in elections,” said Benson, a Democrat. “These bills keep our polling sites accessible for everyone and ensure the continued security of our absentee voting system.
