NEW: Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democratic former law school dean who oversaw two presidential elections in battleground Michigan, is launching a campaign Wednesday to become the state's next governor.
In an interview with The Detroit News, Benson said she wants to be known as "the governor who puts transparency and efficiency at the forefront." The 47-year-old Detroiter is expected to face a crowded race for the Democratic nomination and a competitive contest in the 2026 general election. Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer can't run again because of term limits.
