This weekend, I completed a continuing education class for my national certification as a Certified Elections/Registration Administrator with Election Center. Election administration is more than a job for me: It is a passion.

I am so thankful for the endorsement of former Michigan Assistant Secretary of State Peters. Michigan needs a Secretary of State who knows election administration backwards and forwards.

I am so thankful for these Michigan County Commissioners who have joined Team Byrum!

It only took 40,000 miles of crisscrossing the state to get a nail in my tire. But nothing is going to stop me from putting in the hard work for Michigan. Back to work tomorrow with a patched tire and a full tank of gas! 🫱🏻✋🏻 🚙💨

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the holiday party at the Crawford County Democratic Party was so delightful!

You know you are from Michigan when you grab a shovel but not a coat.

Facts are facts: there is only one candidate for Secretary of State with practical experience running elections and only one candidate who has won every time her name was on the ballot. And that candidate is me. 👇

Santa can't endorse in political contests for obvious reasons, but I'm pretty sure he and Mrs. Claus are on Team Byrum. Plus, they must be an election workers... they run the North Poll! #JokeThenVote

There is a lot to be thankful for this week and I am particularly thankful for the kind and generous support of the plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters from across the state who have come out in support of my candidacy.

Today, I visited the picket line for Teamsters Local 332 nurses and delivered some baked goods to keep spirits up and morale high. Standing in solidarity means more than just talk. To stand up, you have to show up!
