The Michigan House GOP delegation, along with a major committee chair, has raised concerns about the potential use of federal taxpayer dollars for pro-Democratic Party electioneering. Rep. Roger Williams led a letter to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, calling for an investigation into whether public funds were used to support President Biden's reelection campaign.

The letter referenced a memo between the Small Business Administration (SBA) and Benson's department, which utilized a 2021 Biden executive order on promoting access to voting. The House Small Business Committee, led by Williams, aims to determine if voter registration efforts under the memo were strategically benefiting Democrats.
