As the Clerk of one of the most populous counties in Michigan, I have successfully conducted 42 elections, 10 union elections, and many recounts.I am a member of Election Center's Ethics Project Focus Group and Security Committee. I have lent my expertise to Michigan's Election Security Commission, and the Secretary of State's Election Policy Work Group, working with election officials across the state to navigate changes to election law and secure Michigan's Elections.I have been a fervent advocate for the voting rights of qualified, registered voters, focusing on historically disenfranchised voters.

Most residents interact with the Secretary of State’s Office to obtain or renew their vehicle tabs and plates and Driver’s license. As Secretary of State, my job will be to offer the best customer service experience to those residents and make the process easy. That means further improving the online experience, cutting down wait times and providing in-person options including mobile offices, and making sure that our staff are courteous and treating residents respectfully. I owned a hardware business for 20 years and I know that the customer experience is the most important key for a successful small business owner. I will bring that mentality to the Secretary of State’s office and ensure that our residents leave my office with a smile.
Michigan needs a Secretary of State who has practical experience running elections, someone who can defend our processes against misinformation and disinformation. I am the only candidate who has practical experience. We need a Secretary of State that we can trust to deliver safe and secure elections, as we have always done. As Ingham County Clerk for the last 12 years, I have conducted over 40 elections, numerous recounts, and each election was certified by bipartisan Boards of Canvassers. I have the knowledge and expertise to step in and run our elections as Secretary of State on Day One.I have also been vocal, dispelling election myths, and fighting those who attack our Democracy, and would continue to do so as Secretary of State.
Michigan’s voters deserve transparency to know who is influencing our elected officials and candidates and the Michigan Secretary of State plays a key role in ensuring this information is available to voters. As Ingham County Clerk, I implemented an online campaign finance system that provides this clarity to the voters, easily allowing candidates to submit reports, and the public to view them. The statewide system that was released should have gone through more significant testing and now needs an overhaul to make it user friendly and to eliminate bugs. I also believe that a system without enforcement is toothless, and I would seek to crack down on those who are in violation of campaign finance law, as I have as Ingham County Clerk.

Election Integrity That Builds Public Confidence: Election security isn’t partisan. It is foundational and necessary for a health election process. My focus is practical: strengthen safeguards, standardize best practices, and make it easier for the public to trust the process. I support voting systems that are secure, auditable, and protected from avoidable vulnerabilities. Election integrity is achieved through standards and competence, not slogans. This means consistent procedures across jurisdictions, training and support for election workers so elections are run confidently and correctly, and transparent processes that help answer honest questions and reduce confusion. We must also ensure our voter roles are clean and accurate.
Transparency For Michigan Residents: Trust grows when the public can verify procedures and understand what’s happening. I will push for: Clear public explanations of election processes and safeguards, tools that make records requests more straightforward and timely, and implement transparency practices that reduce speculation by answering questions with facts.
High-Performing Office That Respects Your Time:Michigan residents deserve reliable service and clear communication. I will focus on: Service standards with measurable turnaround expectations, modernization that’s careful, stable, and resident-first, and less bureaucracy, better communication, and systems designed around the public—not around the agency

Submitted Biography: "Timothy Smith isn’t a career politician – he’s a devoted husband, proud father of two, and a hardworking American who understands what real life looks like for everyday Michigan families.Timothy works 50 to 60 hours a week at Gentex, an automotive manufacturing company in Zeeland, Michigan. His wife, who immigrated to the United States from Cambodia in 2006, fuels his deep appreciation for the American Dream and his determination to protect it for future generations. Timothy is the proud father of two children, one of whom was born completely deaf and has taught him more about resilience and strength than he could ever have imagined.Through every challenge, Timothy and his family have leaned on faith, grit, and perseverance. And while Timothy has never lost hope in the promise of America, he’s seen firsthand how the system often fails the very people who work the hardest and ask for the least.That’s why he’s stepping forward—not for power, but for purpose. Timothy is running for Secretary of State to restore honesty, integrity, and accountability to Michigan government and to ensure every Michigander’s voice is truly heard."
