Michigan GOP House members call for impeachment articles against secretary of state

A Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives on Tuesday called for the chamber to issue articles of impeachment against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson – who is also a Democratic Party frontrunner for the 2026 gubernatorial primary.

The call for the impeachment of Benson, who was elected in 2018 and reelected in 2022, came from Rep. James DeSana (R-Carleton), citing what he called unlawful election directives, a failure to preserve critical election records and supposed conduct that has undermined the public trust.

Benson in a statement called the effort a “clown show.”

DeSana was joined at a news conference by conservative firebrand Rep. Matt Maddock (R-Milford), who stood by as DeSana claimed that Benson was “the most lawless secretary of state in Michigan history.”

Jocelyn Benson is one of the most effective state office holders in the nation. They really hate strong, bright, dedicated women.
