(Keweenaw Now file photo)HOUGHTON – The U.P. spoke up during the last election. It appears Lansing has taken notice. Jocelyn Benson, the Democratic front runner for Michigan Secretary of State, returns to Houghton for a visit from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, in the Super 8 Motel's conference room. The gathering is open to the general public.
Benson, who threw her hat into the ring Oct. 10, is a leading election law expert in the State of Michigan. She is a nationally recognized educator and voter advocate who has promised to focus on promoting access to the voting process while protecting its integrity.
"I am first and foremost dedicated to ensuring that our elections are fair, accurate, accessible, secure, and that the public can trust the results of the election," Benson said.
A $5 minimum donation per person is required to attend the potluck style meet and greet.
