MAJ endorses Benson for Secretary of State, Nessel for state A.G.
 

The Michigan Association for Justice (MAJ) last week announced the endorsements of Jocelyn Benson and Dana Nessel for state positions.

Benson is former dean of Wayne State University Law School and a national leader in election law and administration. She authored  Secretaries of State: Guardians of the Democratic Process, the first major book on the role of the Secretary of State in enforcing election and campaign finance laws, and promoting fair, accessible, and secure elections.

“Jocelyn Benson is the most qualified person, bar none, to be Michigan’s next Secretary of State,” said MAJ President Brian J. McKeen. “She is an expert in election law and has spent her career fighting for transparency, accountability, and citizen participation... At a time when voting rights are under siege in Michigan and throughout the United States, we need leaders like Jocelyn who will uphold and promote the fundamental principles of our democracy.”

A graduate of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University Law School, Nessel, managing partner of Nessel & Kessel Law in Detroit, is recognized as one of the premier litigators of LGBTQ issues in the state.  “Dana Nessel... has a record of taking on the most powerful interests and championing what is right and what is good. Dana puts people first, and that is what we deserve from our next Attorney General,” McKeen said.
