STATEMENT: Jocelyn Benson Responds to Vetoed Bills Package

Following the decision today to veto the nine Republican-stalled bills in the state legislature, gubernatorial candidate and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson released the below statement:

“I’m tired of these political games. Teachers, nurses, corrections officers, and so many others spent years fighting for relief, only to have leaders they trusted pull the rug out from underneath them.

“I look forward to signing these bills into law as governor. And I'll take on anyone, no matter how rich or powerful, who stands in the way.”
