Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter attended the Presidential Citizens Medal ceremony at the White House in support of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. She was among 12 recipients honored by President Joseph R. Biden for their roles in defending democracy two years ago on Jan. 6, 2020. The county executive released the following statement about the heroic actions of the Presidential Citizens Medal honorees in response to the insurrection at the Capitol:
“On this second anniversary of one of the most brazen and dangerous attacks on our democratic institutions, I’m extremely inspired to be in Washington, D.C. today to help honor the brave heroes who put themselves in harm’s way to protect our national leaders, as well as those like Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for the tireless work she and other election officials did to defend the integrity of every vote. I can’t think of more deserving people to receive the Presidential Citizens Medal.
