From Freep.com:
Jocelyn Benson and David Leyton were endorsed Saturday as the Michigan Democratic Party’s picks for secretary of state and attorney general.
The secretary of state vote was overwhelming for Benson, a 32-year-old Detroit resident and Wayne State University law professor, who swamped Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey by a 95%-5% margin.
But the race for attorney general was far closer. Leyton, 56, a Flint Township resident and Genesee County prosecutor, beat Richard Bernstein, a member of the Wayne State University Board of Governors, by a 52%-47% margin.
“I’m putting the Republicans on notice right now that we’re going to fight for every vote,” Leyton said.
