Trump Republicans are only interested in taking away freedoms they disagree with — like reproductive rights, marriage equality, and the freedom to choose our own leaders. Look no further than secretary of state candidate Kristina Karamo.

Karamo has quickly become a darling of the MAGA crowd due to her outrageous comments and fringe policy positions. She’s called abortion a “satanic practice” akin to human sacrifice, said LGBT Americans “violate God’s creative design,” and promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Putting our elections in her hands is a risk we cannot afford.

To protect our freedoms, every Michigander must make their voice in this election. We must re-elect pro-choice, pro-democracy Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and defeat anti-choice election deniers like Kristina Karamo this November.
