Nessel and Benson are part of ECU // LAV’s $7 million ‘Democracy Defenders’ Program
End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller issued the below statement congratulating Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for being endorsed by the Michigan Democratic Party as the Democratic candidates for attorney general and secretary of state:
“Congratulations to Attorney General Nessel and Secretary Benson on their endorsements from the Michigan Democratic Party. Both of these leaders have proven that they will always put the people of Michigan first–from Attorney General Nessel cracking down on wealthy, exploitative drug companies that exacerbated the opioid crisis, to Secretary Benson expanding access to the ballot box so Michiganders can make their voices heard on the issues that matter most to them. Both Nessel and Benson are running against conspiracy theorist politicians who spread self-serving lies designed solely to bolster their political prospects instead of representing the interests of Michiganders. We look forward to exposing these dangerous politicians and re-electing Attorney General Nessel and Secretary Benson.”
Last year, End Citizens United // Let America Vote launched the Democracy Defenders Program, a $7 million initiative to support Democratic Attorney General and Secretary of State candidates in battleground states across the country. These Attorney General and Secretary of State candidates are committed to protecting the freedom to vote and cracking down on corporate greed.
