STATEMENT: Benson Campaign Statement on Trump Endorsing John James

Benson for Governor Campaign Manager Nikki Goldschein released the following statement:

“Donald Trump’s endorsement of John James is just more proof for voters that James will put his own extreme agenda ahead of what’s right for Michigan. While families are struggling with the rising cost of everything – groceries, gas, prescription drugs – James has spent the last year focused on one thing: winning Donald Trump’s approval. That comes as no surprise. These two failed D.C. politicians have worked in lockstep to make life more expensive for Michigan families.

“Meanwhile, Jocelyn Benson is focused on real solutions to help Michiganders. She’s traveling the state, listening to stories about what’s keeping people up at night, and rolling out an affordability plan that puts people first. That’s the choice in this race: more political games and loyalty to Donald Trump, or leadership focused on the people of Michigan.”
