The Republican-led Michigan House Oversight Committee has authorized a subpoena targeting Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for refusing to share election materials with lawmakers. This action comes after weeks of trading jabs between House Republicans and the Democratic Secretary of State over the security of Michigan’s elections. Benson has accused the GOP leadership of stoking doubt, while Republican lawmakers argue that her refusal to cooperate raises doubts.
House Oversight Committee Chair Representative Jay DeBoyer and Deputy Secretary of State Aghogho Edevbie are at the center of this controversy. Former Republican Attorney General Mike Cox also joins the conversation, discussing his bid for governor of Michigan in 2026.
