Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson says she will NOT run for the U-S Senate next year. She made the announcement in a video released on Twitter today (Fri). Benson says she can do the most good…by staying where she is.
Benson had this to say, “In this election cycle, the best thing I can do to protect your voice and our democracy here in Michigan and all across the country is to be fully focused on ensuring our elections prevail over the bad actors who continue to spread lies about our elections to advance their own agendas.”
Incumbent Senator Debbie Stabenow announced in January that she won’t run for re-election in 2024. Several Democrats have said they’re considering whether they want to run for that office. Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin has already declared her candidacy for the Senate.
