She followed a civil rights hero to Alabama. It shaped her path to power. Jocelyn Benson’s journey to the Michigan governor’s race began with Viola Liuzzo, a mother from Detroit who set out for Selma in March of 1965 to join the fight for voting rights.

She learned about a Detroit mother killed by the Klan in 1965. Drove to Alabama at 19. Worked undercover investigating neo-Nazis. Has returned every year since. Now she’s running for governor. The question: can a state that nearly voted for Trump let her finish the work? #JocelynBenson #Selma

Trump did not break any promise with Michigan voters, They voted for him to hurt Harris and the Democratic Party.

This is a lie, check your facts!

Michigan Republicans demand Benson share full voter roll with Trump administration — unredacted The state has already turned over a copy, but withheld sensitive identifying information, like Social Security numbers. The Justice Department wants all of it and Michigan Republicans agree.

I had so much respect for her and still do retain some and will defend her at times but this seemingly acceptance of Trump is something that will affect how I vote in the midterms so #JocelynBenson better be mindful of what Big Gretch is doing and show some criticism

I wonder if the potential candidates for our Michigan Governors race also agree with Trump ?
#JocelynBenson

Maybe we should take a good hard look at the people that ran along side her and is now looking at becoming Governor.

Worst campaign rollout in decades for an otherwise good Democratic candidate for governor. Michiganders not ready to be barraged with campaign ads and donation requests - epic failure to "read the room".
