**Double Standards in Michigan: Democrat Secretary of State Goes Unpunished for Campaign Law Violation**
In a shocking display of political favoritism, Michigan's Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel has confirmed that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson violated campaign law when she announced her gubernatorial candidacy within a government building.
Despite the clear breach of state regulations, Nessel's office stated that no punishment would be imposed due to a loophole that excludes the Secretary of State from penalties for such violations.
This situation raises serious concerns about accountability and the integrity of our electoral system.
Benson announced her 2026 gubernatorial campaign on January 22, during a press conference in the Richard H. Austin Building, which houses her office.
State law explicitly prohibits public officials from using government resources for campaign purposes.
Yet, Nessel's office concluded that because there’s no mechanism for punishment against Benson, who oversees elections and campaign finance, she would face no consequences.
Republican state Rep. Jay DeBoyer voiced his concern regarding the attorney general's stance, arguing that it reflects a dereliction of duty.
“It is the Secretary of State’s obligation to refer this matter to the attorney general, and if she chooses not to, that is an absolute failure in judgment,” DeBoyer stated.
Meanwhile, Michigan Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt went further in his criticism, suggesting that Nessel is shielding her Democratic ally from accountability while aggressively targeting conservatives.
“This double standard undermines the integrity of our elections,” Nesbitt said. “Michiganders deserve an attorney general who enforces the law fairly, not one who holds herself and her allies above it.”
This contentious episode underscores the urgent need for reform in Michigan’s election laws.
Both Nessel and Benson are promoting narratives aimed at distracting voters from their systemic failures.
With calls for transparency and fairness echoing throughout the state, Republicans are right to demand a government that operates under the rule of law—one in which no one is above accountability, regardless of political affiliation.
As the race for governor heats up, Michiganders will undoubtedly be watching how their leaders act on these critical issues.
