Lawrence Issues Statement on Threats Against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson | 2020-12-08 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Democrat | Senate | MI | Brenda Lawrence | L000581 | lawrence.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. Today, Representative Brenda L. Lawrence (MI-14) issued the following statement after armed protestors approached the home of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, touting threats of violence and intimidation because of the Michigan election results. I am deeply saddened and disturbed by the actions displayed by the violent protestors who showed up to Secretary Benson's home, putting her and her family at risk of being harmed. She has worked tirelessly this election cycle to ensure the protection and security of each citizen's right to vote. The votes have been counted, and the public has spoken to elect Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States. We will not allow protestors, or anyone, attempt to silence voters and attack the democracy we work so hard to defend. I wish Secretary Benson and her family the best. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
