Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is already on the campaign trail for governor… more than a year ahead of the primary.
Benson visited Traverse City earlier this week and while she was here, she dropped by and spoke with IPR.
She spoke with IPR reporter Claire Keenan-Kurgan about childcare solutions, light rail, and Benson's role overseeing elections.
Listen to their conversation in the audio player above.
The primary for governor is in August of 2026. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer cannot run again because of term limits.
