Thank you, MICHIGAN! I'm so proud to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of Michigan. I'm ready to fight for your future — costs down, wages up, rights protected, and a government that works for all of us.

Since day one of this campaign my focus has been simple: Standing up to anyone — pharmaceuticals, utilities, corporate investors, or even the President to bring your costs down and raise your wages up.

Happy Election Day, Michigan! The power of the people is always greater than the people in power and today is your chance to prove it. If you haven't voted yet, there's still time. Polls are open until 8 p.m. local time. Your voice matters, and your vote does, too. Let's get it done, Michigan.

It doesn’t matter if it’s insurance companies wrongly denying coverage, utilities raising costs to pad their profits, or corporate investors jacking up rent — I will take on anyone to lower your costs.

Making sure Sherry Berecz flips her seat is how we flip the state house and deliver for families Downriver and all across the state. That's why I was so excited to join Rep. Debbie Dingell and Sen. Darrin Camilleri to support her and get out the vote!

I had a wonderful morning observing First Sunday with congregations across Detroit. All of the warm greetings and joy filled me with hope as we continue to work everyday to build a better tomorrow for all Michiganders.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

This morning, I joined Reverend Horace Sheffield and Detroiters for DABO Detroit’s GOTV rally. I’m grateful to have the Rev’s support as we work to build a movement that puts families first — lower costs, higher wages, and safer communities.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Sarah Pounds is ready to stand up for families in Lansing. She needs our support to knock doors, make calls, and win this November. Let’s get it done!

0147

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Alex Hawkins said it best — we’ve got to knock, and knock, and knock some more doors to win this thing.

0146

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

A trifecta means we can lower costs, raise wages, and make Michigan the best place to call home. I joined Alex Hawkins for his canvass launch because I know he’ll work hard to make those goals a reality for Oakland County. Let’s fight for Alex so he can fight for Michigan!

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

As Governor, I'll keep fighting to make sure every Michigander, in every community, can access the care they need and that the rights they voted to protect are real in their everyday lives.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

We need to elect Democrats up and down the ballot that are ready to fight for our future. I joined Sarah Pounds for her canvass launch in Lake Orion to spread the word that this is one of the most competitive state house seats in Michigan. This November, let’s flip it!

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Last night at the Carey House in Detroit, I heard the stories of a teacher advocating for equal pay, a student searching for opportunity after graduation, and a formerly incarcerated woman just looking for a second chance. These are the voices that I will fight for as governor.

0176

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I sat down with Lisa McIntyre, Rep. Koleszar, and small business owners in Northville to hear how we can keep business booming while making life a little easier for them and the hundreds of Michiganders they employ.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

This morning, I toured ACCESS’s human services and health centers in Dearborn to see how ACCESS is showing up for our most vulnerable populations. I'm committed to working with and standing up for our community organizations, like ACCESS in Lansing.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Such a blast spending my afternoon at the 5th Annual Senior Summer Sizzler at the Eastern Market in Detroit! I ran into so many friends, made new ones, and spoke about the things that matter most this November.

1188

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

I’m fired up after joining Rep. @maixiong.bsky.social, Rep. McFall, and Macomb County leaders in building momentum to secure a trifecta this fall! We can — and will — get Democrats elected up and down the ballot if we continue to work hard here in places like Macomb.

1188

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Today I joined Joseph McClusky to tour the Holland Museum and meet volunteers in Ottawa County. Like so many others, generations of Dutch families have chosen Holland and Michigan because our state is the best place to call home. As governor, I'll fight alongside Joseph to keep it that way.

1225

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Winning back our trifecta starts with electing strong leaders in every corner of Michigan. I was excited to join @rebeccaamidonformi.bsky.social in Muskegon today to hear directly from the community about what they need from their leaders in Lansing.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

From Munising to Detroit, summer tourism is booming all across Michigan — but it can’t come at the expense of year-round residents. As governor, I'll give control back to local governments to set their own rules on taxing, approving, and regulating short-term vacation rentals.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

This weekend I stopped by the 5th annual Soul Day Festival in Detroit. It was a beautiful celebration of culture, community, and the people who make this city so special. Thank you for welcoming me and showing me a fun time!

100 days to fight for our democracy. 100 days to bring costs down and wages up. 100 days to build a Michigan for all. Let’s get to work: www.jocelynbenson.com/volunteer

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Today I joined Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr. in meeting members of the Triumph Church community across Metro Detroit. Like so many Michigan families, they are leading with faith for a better tomorrow. I am ready to fight for our future as governor so every family can thrive.

0142

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

I spent the afternoon with the members of AFSCME Retiree Chapter 255, heard their stories, and thanked them for everything they've done for Michigan. I left with a few laughs and even more appreciation for the people who spent their careers in public service for our communities.

0143

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Building a coalition that reflects every corner of Michigan is the most rewarding part of this campaign. Thank you to Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote for your partnership. I'm proud to stand with you as we work to lower costs, raise wages, and build a state where every family can thrive.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Early voting is here! Make a plan, cast your vote, and make your voice heard.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

No corporate PACs. No special interests. Our movement is people-powered and progress-centered.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Happy 325th birthday to our lovely city!

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Our kids are our future. We must guarantee we are investing in both their education and economic wellbeing. That means preserving programs like free breakfast and lunch and expanding economic opportunity in communities like Saginaw who have been left out of growth.

0121

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

No student will go hungry under my watch. Free school breakfast and lunch will continue when I am governor.

0273

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I met with members of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus today to discuss how we’ll work hand in hand to address the most pressing issues facing Michigan’s Black communities — lowering costs, economic opportunity, and protecting fundamental rights.

0163

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

There’s so much potential here in Saginaw. I was grateful to sit down with Rep. Amos O’neal, Mayor Brenda Moore, and men in the community to talk about how we can make Saginaw an economic leader again.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Thank you, UAW Local 600, for inviting me to your annual picnic! It was great spending the afternoon with so many Michiganders and their families, talking about what’s at stake for Michigan and how we build an economy where everyone has the opportunity to get ahead.

So much fun to celebrate the last day of school with the brilliant amazing kids and teachers at Palmer Park Prep Academy in Detroit! This is the joy we want to protect for every kid in Michigan - every day! 😎

A few months ago, Mary in Detroit told me about her dad's story. As governor, I will hold insurance companies accountable when they deny life-saving care. For Mary’s family. For all of us.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I will be a governor who stands up for people every day - making life more affordable, driving down costs, and growing our economy. With your help this November, we will build an economy that enables everyone to thrive.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

I live and drive in Detroit, and I am no stranger to the rising costs. Michigan drivers were promised the last round of auto insurance reforms would lower costs and instead they went up. Auto insurance reform is going to be my priority as governor.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Our coalition is growing by the day. So proud to have earned the endorsement of UNITE HERE Local 24 and their over 8K members. They have fought for wage increases, affordable healthcare, and so much more. Glad to have them on the team to make Michigan the best place to call home.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Tonight I had the privilege of sitting down with Detroit women to hear directly what they need from their state government to build real economic prosperity and generational wealth for them and their families.

In 2008, American Axle asked its workers to make sacrifices to help the company survive. They did, taking a significant pay cut. Nearly 20 years later, many workers still haven’t recovered the wages and benefits they gave up, even as the company generated billions in profits.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Happy Pride Month, Michigan. 🏳️‍🌈 As LGBTQ+ Michiganders face renewed attacks on their rights, their families, and their freedom, I’ll always stand with you. Because everyone deserves the freedom to be who they are, love who they love, and build an affordable life here in Michigan.

Great day for a run in Ann Arbor.🏃‍♀️

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Michigan’s next governor has a moral responsibility to transform our public schools — for our kids, our economy, and our future. As the daughter of two public school educators who taught special education, and as a mom and a former educator myself, this is personal.

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Today is Memorial Day. As a military spouse, I think of the families who didn’t get their service members back. Behind every name is a husband, a parent, a wife, and a child. Today, and always, we honor their sacrifice and carry their memory forward.

1262

Jocelyn Benson @jocelynbenson.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

This Memorial Day — and every day — we remember and honor the women and men who gave their lives to protect and defend our country.

Time to rein in utility rate hikes, invest in clean energy, and stop letting power companies pass costs onto the people who can least afford it.

Three people were killed today while gathered in prayer at the Islamic Center of San Diego. My heart is with their families, with the Muslim community, and with every community that has lived through violence because of who they are. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/18/p...

My message to gun violence advocates yesterday was clear: Our kids deserve to grow up safe at school, in their neighborhoods, and everywhere in between.
