ABC NEWS: "Michigan Republicans nominated Trump-endorsed 'Big Lie' candidates Kristina Karamo and Matt DePerno to run against incumbent Democrats...for secretary of state and attorney general. If Karamo and DePerno are successful in November, they will hold positions directly involved with validating future election results as Michigan’s top elections and law enforcement officials."
PCCC members have donated over $80,000 to Democratic Secretary of State candidates -- to save our democracy. Our help is needed more than ever in Michigan.
The PCCC proudly endorsed Jocelyn Benson in her last election. She has stood up to right-wing mobs and death threats to protect the integrity of elections in Michigan. We all need to support her again now.
Here's more from ABC News:
"Karamo was part of the Supreme Court lawsuit that was eventually rejected seeking to overturn the 2020 results after claiming she personally witnessed election fraud in Detroit.
"Although their endorsements still need to be officially confirmed by a party vote in August, the pair will now road test how well Trump’s most ardent supporters can fare in statewide executive races amid ongoing fractures within Michigan's Republican party. The party's move to nominate the nation's first 2020 conspiracy theorists to run in major battleground contests creates a complicated political landscape that has some Democrats pouncing.
"'My opponent is more focused on peddling divisive fake conspiracies & lies than providing competent, customer-service driven leadership,' said incumbent Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson in a tweet, adding that Karamo will 'undermine our democracy.'"
The winner of this election in 2022 will oversee Michigan's 2024 election -- and Trump allies are spending millions on races like this across the country. Now is the time to ensure Jocelyn Benson has the resources to win.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
