Welcome back to Keepers of the Republic, a new weekly podcast from Keep Our Republic that takes listeners inside the institutions at the heart of American democracy.

This week, Keep Our Republic's Executive Director Ari Mittleman talks with Lisa Posthumus Lyons, County Clerk for Kent County, Michigan. Ari and Lisa discuss her years as a Michigan state representative, dive into the nitty gritty of election administration in Michigan, and how we can support transparency and trust in the election process.

Every week, Keepers of Our Republic features thoughtful conversations with election officials, county clerks, legal experts, and retired federal judges, we explore how elections are really run, discuss why an independent judiciary is essential to a strong republic, and separate fact from fiction in a fast-changing world.
