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.

In the 20 years I’ve known her, Rep. Phillips has always led with heart, keeping her community and the people of Michigan at the forefront of everything she does. I’m honored to have her on the team so we can make Detroit, and all of Michigan, a place where anyone can thrive.

I’m working for a future in Michigan where every family can afford childcare, buy a home in the community they want to live in, and have access to quality education and well paying jobs: in Wexford and every other community. Join me.   cadillacnews.com/news/benson-vi…

State Representative Emily Dievendorf brings compassion, courage, and clarity to Lansing every day. I’m incredibly proud to have her endorsement as we work together to protect our freedoms, expand opportunity, and ensure every voice is heard in every corner of Michigan.

Michigan’s strength begins in city halls and county chambers, where mayors, commissioners, and city council members roll up their sleeves to solve problems and serve their neighbors.  Their work is the backbone of our democracy, and I’m honored to have earned the trust of these…

I’m grateful to have the support of Hill Harper, a tireless advocate for justice, equity, and community empowerment. His voice, leadership, and commitment to uplifting others inspires me and so many across Michigan. Let’s keep building a future rooted in possibility, hope, and…

I’m an educator, and the daughter of educators, and a mom who knows first hand how to turn around education institutions and deliver results. As Dean of Wayne State Law School I lowered tuition and expanded employment opportunities for our students, taking the school from the…

The power of the people will always be greater than the people in power. I believe it. I’ve seen it. When communities rise up, when we refuse to be silent, and when we make sure our voices are heard—there’s nothing that can stand in our way. When we know our worth, no title, no…

I’m honored to have the support of Prosecutor Kym Worthy, someone I’ve admired and worked alongside for years. Prosecutor Worthy has always led with moral courage and integrity. Her belief in our campaign and our shared vision for a Michigan where every community can thrive…

Happy 4th of July Michigan!

I can’t stop thinking about the military families who will have to worry about how they’ll feed their kids because SNAP benefits are being cut. Or the millions of people who will avoid going to the doctor, risking illness, because they no longer have access to Medicaid. There…

I had the chance to visit Avalon Village and spend time with Shamayim “Mama Shu” Harris, a true force for good. Her vision, grit, and love for her community turned a dream into a thriving neighborhood hub. Her organization is turning once abandoned homes into homework houses,…

There’s nothing beautiful about a bill that puts the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Michiganders at risk.

How do we ensure Michigan’s budget invests in our people, our kids, and our communities? Supporting lawmakers who will help make Michigan a place where everyone can afford to live and has a chance to thrive. We are suited up and ready to win. Let’s go.

When I was part of the Gov’s @MIWomenInSports task force, one of the strongest recommendations in our final report was to bring pro sports back to the state. @WNBA was high on the list. Glad to see this happening. @JocelynBenson @DetroitPistons

freep.com/story/sports/n… YES! Every woman belongs in the game. As founding Chair of Michigan’s Task Force on Women in Sports and a huge advocate for the WNBA coming back to Detroit, I know what this means for girls across our state: your pro dreams can now come true right here in…

I’m in this for them: For every kid growing up in Michigan counting on us to get it right. Let’s make Michigan the best place to be a kid, raise a kid, and call home.

Thrive in Michigan Tour Day 9 ✅ From miners to innovators to kids to retirees, I love the Upper Peninsula and the people who call it home. As Secretary of State, I’ve been proud to show up for our northernmost Michiganders every day and every season, and I’ll proudly do the…
