I get to travel the country speaking to election officials and law enforcement at least a few times a month, but it’s always such a highlight when I get to be with the Michigan Clerks! It was so fun to be with my amazing teammates and present at the MAMC Education Day today. Thank you, MAMC!!

I had the honor today of being the guest of Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin at the Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes. As a former election official and someone who cares deeply about the process, today was a gift and something I won’t forget. Thank you, Senator!

I am just starting to explore our initial results from the @electionsvoting.bsky.social Local Election Official Survey. Job satisfaction remains high, though one question we ask if election admins would recommend their children go into election admin - that number has fallen from 41% in 2023.
