I am committed to performing the duties to the best of my ability. I have completed four years as a Board of Canvasser. I previously served on my State Employee Board election committee for six years. I have never been convicted of a felony or election crime. I graduated from High school in Detroit and completed my degree from Wayne State University. I accepted employment from the State of Michigan after graduating in 1975. During that time, I worked full time as the Recording Secretary for my local union until I retired in 2022. I do believe Joe Biden won the Presidential Election in 2020 and as a present Board of Canvasser I know the 2022 election results are accurate. Charlene Yarbrough PHILLIP W.
