AG Nessel: Jocelyn Benson violated campaign finance law with governor's race announcement

The attorney general's office issued only a warning after determining Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson violated Michigan's campaign finance law.

In a recent ruling, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel found that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson violated campaign finance laws by announcing her candidacy for governor during a press conference held at the state Capitol in May 2025. The announcement, which was made before Benson had officially filed to run, was deemed an in-kind contribution from the state to her campaign, as it utilized state resources. Nessel's decision mandates that Benson's campaign must reimburse the state for the costs associated with the press conference. This ruling comes amidst heightened scrutiny of campaign finance practices in Michigan, highlighting the fine line between official state duties and political campaigning.
