Fighting for a Stronger Michigan
Meet Jocelyn
Jocelyn Benson has always been willing to take on big challenges.

She understands that if we want Michigan to be the best, we need leaders who will put saving time and money at the forefront, ensure access to affordable healthcare and housing, and implement forward-looking ideas to ensure Michigan becomes the best place to call home.
