Kristina Karamo pushes conspiracy theories that are out of touch with reality.
She believed that left-wing anarchists were behind the January 6 attack on the Capitol. She claimed that George Floyd died of a drug overdose, not from suffocation when a police officer kneeled on his neck. She said singer Beyoncé advocates for witchcraft. And according to Newsweek, “Karamo is also connected to the QAnon conspiracy theory, a radical theory that believed Trump was battling a secret cabal of satanic child abusers, who included leading Democrat figures and celebrities.”
Kristina Karamo is focused on the wrong things for Secretary of State.
Karamo says “Demonic possession is real,” and that people can be exposed to it by having sex. She says the Democratic Party, “has totally been taken over by a satanic agenda” and called the current Secretary of State an “evil, evil, evil woman.”
KRISTINA KARAMO
Is Pushing an Extreme Personal Agenda
Rather than focusing on fair elections and efficient motor vehicle services, Kristina Karamo is spending her time and energy pushing an extreme agenda that Michiganders don’t need.
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has been a strong and effective leader for Michigan.
She has put politics aside to deliver real results and better services for Michigan families. Before being elected, she was a non-profit leader, a lawyer and educator. With expertise in education, civil rights and elections, Benson was previously an associate professor and dean of Wayne State University Law School.
Jocelyn’s accomplishments include:
Improving services at the Secretary of State office. Benson created a new appointment system and expanded online services to make it easier for people to get driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations. Her office also installed new self-service stations, many at grocery stores, to give people more options to avoid coming into the busy state offices.
Drawing the lines fairly. Benson oversaw the implementation of Proposal 2, which established an independent citizens redistricting commission that takes politics out of the equation so legislative and congressional districts are drawn fairly.
Kristina Karamo is one of the leaders of the anti-abortion movement in Michigan.
She called abortion “child sacrifice” and a “Satanic practice.” Karamo wants to criminalize abortion in Michigan even for the victims of rape and incest.

Kristina Karamo is a Trump-backed election denier who won’t protect your vote.
“Kristina Karamo was a poll challenger in Detroit who then joined the wave of conservatives falsely claiming Donald Trump won the 2020 election.” She filed an affidavit as part of a lawsuit trying to get the Supreme Court to discard Biden's victories in Michigan and three other states. She supported giving the legislature the power to certify elections, putting the integrity of our votes in jeopardy if the party in control doesn’t support the outcome.
KIM CROCKETT
is Wrong for Minnesota
Rather than focusing on making it easier and more efficient to vote, Kim Crockett is pushing a radical disinformation campaign aimed at rolling back voting rights and creating doubt in the democratic process.
