An attorney who challenged misreported election results was tapped, along with a community college professor,  by the Michigan Republican Party over the weekend to challenge Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson in November.

Republicans picked two candidates—attorney Matthew DePerno for attorney general and professor Kristina Karamo for secretary of state—who they hope can capitalize on flagging enthusiasm for Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections.
