The Purposeful Warrior: A Conversation with Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson

As Michigan’s Secretary of State and chief election official, Secretary Jocelyn Benson has overseen several of the highest turnout, most secure elections in the state’s history. But her life changed in December 2020 when armed protesters descended onto her doorstep, threatening her family. Her only crime: certifying a fair and accurate Presidential election in which the protesters’ preferred candidate — Donald Trump — did not win. Benson stood her ground, spoke out louder, and helped expose and defeat a coordinated national effort to overturn the 2020 election. Join us as Benson challenges us all to think about what we are willing to be warriors for in our own lives, and shows us how to turn fear and frustration into a fight for our own purpose, vision, and future.
