THE FINAL WORD. THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT FOLLOWS.

Tonight at 7:00 PM ET, the Wolverine Bar Association brings Michigan’s gubernatorial candidates together for a consequential evening of civic engagement and election protection, just days before Election Day.

7:15 PM | Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson
7:30 PM | Congressman John James

Two candidates. Two competing visions. One opportunity to hear directly from those seeking to lead Michigan.

Immediately following, we will host a nonpartisan Election Protection Training, in collaboration with the National Bar Association’s nationwide initiative, preparing legal professionals to safeguard the fundamental right to vote.

The candidates will have their final word. On Election Day, the people will have theirs. Our responsibility is to ensure every lawful vote is heard.

Join us tonight at 7:00 PM ET via Zoom.
