    I’m running to be Governor of Michigan to ensure everyone gets a fair shot. I'm a mom, military spouse, educator — and Michigan’s Secretary of State. I’ve never backed down from a tough fight or hard work. And I know together we can build the future Michiganders deserve.

    Hi again. Still wrong. Every Michigan registered voter has a right to vote by mail. I have the authority & responsibility to make sure that they know how to exercise this right - just like my GOP colleagues are doing in GA, IA, NE and WV. Also, again, my name is Jocelyn Benson.

    Michigan sends absentee ballot applications to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!

    Hi! 👋🏼 I also have a name, it’s Jocelyn Benson. And we sent applications, not ballots. Just like my GOP colleagues in Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska and West Virginia.

    So wait, the Senate can establish a permanent Daylight Savings time in reaction to losing an hour of sleep this past Sunday, but can’t establish a baseline of voting protections in reaction to a multi year assault on democracy?

    Wow! Michigan just refused to certify the election results! Having courage is a beautiful thing. The USA stands proud!

    The individuals gathered outside my home targeted me as Michigan’s Chief Election officer. But their threats were actually aimed at the 5.5million Michigan citizens who voted in this fall’s election, seeking to overturn their will. They will not succeed in doing so. My statement:

    Tonight feels like a good time to tell you all that, for me, the absolute lowest moment in the post election battle we endured to protect Michigan’s accurate and legitimate election results in 2020 was not when armed protestors stormed my home. It was the night of the Wayne

    🗣 The Big Lie is no longer about overturning the 2020 election. It’s about planting seeds to overturn the next one.

    Turnout is off the charts. All across Michigan. That’s it that’s the tweet.

    The only thing that can stop a bad politician with a vote is a good citizen with a vote.
