In an unearthed video, Michigan Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson can be seen campaigning for her first run for secretary of state in Michigan in 2010. The event was held in Houghton, Michigan, at a Democratic Party office. At the time, Benson was new to politics, but somehow caught the attention of George Soros, who apparently saw someone he aligned with in his quest to destroy everything good and decent about America and helped fund her campaign. To date, 4 members of the Soros family, including George Soros, have contributed a whopping $33,120 to Jocelyn Benson’s current 2026 Michigan gubernatorial campaign.

Jocelyn Benson is seen standing in front of what appears to be a kitchen, addressing a crowd of fellow Democrats. During her introduction, Benson said she was raised in Pennsylvania and that, after graduating from Harvard Law School in 2004, she worked for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama. Although their stated mission is to root out “hate groups,” many believe the SPLC is in and of itself a “hate group,” used to target conservative groups by mislabeling and mischaracterizing them in an effort to destroy their credibility.

Benson doesn’t explain exactly how she became an FBI informant through her undercover work for the SPLC, but she makes sure to include this little tidbit in her resume when addressing potential voters.

“And I moved to Alabama after college to work for the Southern Poverty Law Center and investigated hate groups down there undercover, for the FBI and other folks that we informed of hate activities in the South,” Benson told the group.

She continued, “And, you know, living in Alabama, I really developed just a commitment to continuing the work that had been done both in Alabama and throughout our country.”

Watch the awkward exchange here:

During her first Soros-funded run at MI SOS, @JocelynBenson explained how she was “working undercover for the FBI” (likely trying to entrap her political enemies) while working for the Southern Poverty Law Center to “investigate hate groups in the South.”

Did Jocelyn give @GovWhitmer the idea to use the FBI set up innocent men to help boost her horrible poll numbers?

P.S. Why won’t MI media ask her if she approved the checks the SPLC was writing to the KKK while she was on their board? 🤔

Jocelyn Benson must have really impressed the far-left radicals running the SPLC, as she was chosen to become a board member in 2014.

Jocelyn Benson served on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s board of directors from 2014 until she became Michigan Secretary of State in 2019—precisely the years covered by the April 2026 federal indictment that charges the SPLC with wire fraud, bank fraud, and money-laundering conspiracy. Prosecutors allege the organization secretly funneled more than $3 million in donor money to informants inside the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, National Alliance, and other extremist groups, routing the payments through shell companies and prepaid cards while publicly fundraising to “dismantle” those same organizations.

The indictment specifically identifies one paid informant, labeled F-37, as a member of the online leadership chat that planned the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville. According to the charging document, F-37 attended the event at the SPLC’s direction, made racist postings under SPLC supervision, helped coordinate transportation for attendees, and was paid more than $270,000. Benson has described her board role as “mostly ceremonial,” but the indictment’s timeline places her on the board throughout the period these payments were allegedly made—including the years surrounding the deadly Charlottesville violence that the SPLC later used to drive a massive surge in donations.

To date, no mainstream media outlet has asked Jocelyn about her role as a SPLC board member or whether she wrote the checks allegedly paid to the undercover informants. Since she seems to know so much about being an informant, it may be worth asking, especially since she is running to become Michigan’s top elected official.
