LANSING, MI — The race for governor in the state of Michigan has picked up another early entrant on the Democratic side. Current Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has thrown her hat in the ring after making an announcement earlier this morning. Here is her release in its entirety:
“I am running for Governor because our state needs a bold leader who will save all Michiganders time and money, deliver real results that improve everyone’s lives, and protect our residents. And that’s what I’ve done my entire career,” said Benson. “This campaign is about ensuring government is on your side. I want Michigan to be the best place in the country to be a kid, raise a kid, and be healthy, safe, and successful. A place where government is efficient and easy to deal with, where businesses and communities thrive, and where every resident has access to quality child care, health care, education, and housing. As governor I will bring people together to solve our biggest problems and make sure everyone has a fair shot.”
Other candidates for the governor’s race in 2026 include Republican Aric Nesbit and independent Mike Duggan.
