DGA Chair Gov. Andy Beshear Statement on Jocelyn Benson Becoming the Democratic Nominee in Michigan
DGA Chair Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear released the following statement on Jocelyn Benson securing the Democratic nomination for governor in Michigan:
"Congratulations to Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on becoming the Democratic nominee for governor in Michigan. Jocelyn understands the challenges families are facing, and she has been a fearless public servant who fixes broken systems and improves the lives of Michiganders. As Secretary of State, she kept her promises and transformed one of Michigan's largest departments into one that saved people time, increased transparency, and defended our democracy against relentless attacks. As governor, Jocelyn will tackle corruption, lower the costs of health care, housing, and energy, and always stand up to Donald Trump when he threatens Michigan families and their freedoms. She's already earned the trust of Michiganders by winning statewide twice, and the DGA will be all-in to make sure she wins this high-stakes race so she can keep standing up for the people of Michigan."
