Representing the Committee for Safe and Secure Elections (CSSE) at #nawlee2025! Excited to share our message with the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives.
Great to be with my colleague LaTasha Hill!

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!!

Thank you, LaTasha Hill (@brennancenter.bsky.social ), for moderating, and @tinalbarton.bsky.social (@theelectionsgroup.bsky.social) and Chance Walkama, Laramie County, Wyoming, for sharing your insights.

I was honored to be a guest lecturer today at the University of Michigan Law School - 2024 Michigan Election Process: Successes, Challenges, and Recommendations for Reform class. The course is part of the law school's Problem Solving Initiative. Thank you to, Professors Buchsbaum and Disch!

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.

Many of you saw the explosion that happened last night in Orion. I have known Drake Falconer since he was born and we’ve loved Nina Falconer since she came into his life. They are good people. Please consider donating.
