Lansing, MI - Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra filed a bar complaint with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. Benson’s contribution to a Justice that she was appearing before is one of the largest contributions any person or PAC has been made to Bolden’s campaign and creates an appearance of impropriety that brings the legal profession into disrepute.

The complaint also highlights that for the last two years, Benson has suffered a string of court losses from Judges consistently ruling that her attempts to weaken transparency and verification in the administration of elections were “contrary to law.” As her legal losses to the Michigan Republican Party mounted, Benson made a large donation to the political campaign of a sitting Michigan Supreme Court Justice, who then wrote a key opinion giving Benson the green light to double down on her efforts to weaken Michigan Election Laws.
