When it comes to connecting with the people of Alabama, there’s one statewide leader who goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure he is as transparent and accessible as possible.

The Alabama Secretary of State, John Merrill, not only fulfills his duties of office, but he also goes to great lengths to connect with those he serve. The proof? His Facebook page.

On a daily basis Merrill takes to the social media platform to post public snaps of everyone he’s meeting with in the State Capitol and at events across the state. His daily updates are not only transparent, but seem to serve as a digital diary of his efforts in the Secretary of State’s office that he welcomes constituents to follow along.
