It has been nearly six months but the Puppers and I got a run in this afternoon.

For your BlueSky viewing pleasure: Hi! Matt DePerno, It’s me, Barb Byrum! First of all it's 👋 not 👏. You've committed so many violations over the years that necessitated me talking to you, I would have thought you would know by now.

Thank you so much for your time, donations, hard work, & energy over the last 11 months. While I was not successful in the bid for the Dem nomination this year, I promise to keep causing good trouble and I hope you will continue to join me. I appreciate you & will be seeing you all again very soon!

Voting is OPEN at the MDP Endorsement Convention! If you are a credentialed MDP voter at the Convention Hall, please cast your vote NOW! And remember, this may go to a second ballot, so please stick around! 🗳️

Signed, sealed, delivered! ✅ Thanks to the hard work from our team, we have collected enough signatures to be eligible for the MDP’s endorsement. Next stop, voting at 3 p.m.! (Well, a maybe few speeches and cups of coffee in between now and then…)

Happy Convention Day, Michigan Democrats! Be sure to get credentialed before 2, and voting will begin at 3. I will be visiting various caucuses and groups throughout the day, but please feel free to say hello if I’m not at the podium! Let’s do this!

Members of Team Byrum worked hard on petition signature collection today ✍️ Thank you, Dianne Byrum and Councilwoman Mary Waters!

Pre-Convention activities have begun! If you are at Huntington Place today, you can already get credentialed and begin signing petitions. Look for our volunteers around the building and table in the main atrium!

T-2 days until the MDP Endorsement Convention and we are not letting up! Thanks to the Democrats of South Oakland and the Plymouth Democratic Club for having me at their meetings, last night. I look forward to seeing many of you on Sunday! 🗳️

Thank you to Lloyd Banks for the opportunity to speak at the Farmington/Farmington Hills Dem Club meeting. I really enjoyed the conversations and look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

Registering voters at MSU with then Student Body Pres Domonique Clemons. He is now the Genesee County Clerk/Register of Deeds & I am running for Secretary of State. Protecting Voting Rights & encouraging civic participation has been my passion for more than a decade.

I had a lovely time attending Ingham County Democratic Party’s Celebration of the Historic Impact of Women Leaders this weekend. Ingham County has been fortunate to have many strong women public servants.

Celebrating National Pet Day with the Puppers (the cats are already in bed).

Thank you, Mecosta County Democratic Party for a fun evening with friends and great conversations.

Thank you Martha Darling and Gil Omenn for such an engaging event in Ann Arbor. I really enjoyed the candid conversations and thank you for your support!

I could not let the day pass without announcing this amazing endorsement by the Michigan Pipe Trades! Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you at the ⁦‪⁦‪MDP‬⁩ Nominating Convention!

Thank you Genesee County Board of Commissioners Chair Dale K. Weighill and Genesee County Clerk & Register of Deeds Domonique D. Clemons for an absolutely lovey event. I enjoyed the conversations and really appreciate the support.

The only candidate who doesn’t just talk about standing up to Trump but has actually taken him on and won! 🥊

I had a lovely time at the TULC fish fry before the Tigers game, today. Even ran into my friend Councilwoman Mary Waters.
