LANSING ~ As Jocelyn Benson prepares to become Michigan’s next governor, leaders across Macomb County and the defense community are closely watching what her administration will do to support Selfridge Air National Guard Base, one of the state’s most important military and economic assets. The base supports thousands of jobs and plays a key role in national defense, making its long-term future a priority for local residents, service members and businesses that depend on its presence.
During the campaign, Benson emphasized growing Michigan’s economy and protecting critical assets that strengthen communities across the state. For families connected to Selfridge, the hope is that her administration will continue efforts to secure new missions, attract federal investment and ensure the base remains a cornerstone of Michigan’s economy and military readiness for years to come.
