Reminder today is Michigan primary day. If you haven't voted already, please go vote. You can still turn your absentee ballots until polls close at 8pm
PSA Ottawa County 🚨🚨🚨We have 18,918 absentee ballots left to be returned by 8pm Tuesday. You can do this! If you have not yet returned your ballot- here are the best options for you:
Roger Belknap is weird. Read his response to a loaded anti-trans question from Joe Moss' PAC where he veers off into talking about the new world orders plans to make people into cyborgs in West Michigan. ... But his opponent Phil (on the right) is just as bad but less crazy.
This is District 2, where I live. It has some of the most Latino and Asian precincts in Michigan. It also has traditionally low voter turnout compared to our neighboring districts. It's where a petition program I built successfully recalled Ottawa Impact's Lucy Ebel.
Phil is a great friend of Bill Huizenga (whom he is pictured with above). Bill and MIGOP chair Pete Hoekstra need to unlock a mountain of Betsy DeVos' cash to help Republicans take back the Michigan House. Betsy is being stingy while Joe Moss controls Ottawa County government.
This is a close-up of District 1, an R+12 district. 80% of the population in District 1 lives in a precinct that is a demographic proxy for a precinct in District 2 where Democratic vote share increased by more than 20 points in last May's recall. We should have recalled here.
A close-up of District 5. This is the one district where I said Dems should feel free to support the anti-OI GOP candidate running for county commission. It's thoroughly red, unlike the rest of the county. MAGA leadership infighting will lower GOP turnout on Election Day here.
Behold, "permanently red" Ottawa County:
This is an extremely vulnerable toss-up district. Losing it would make it more difficult for the Republicans to gain control of the state house. @AbbyKlomparens is the Democrat running, and she is coordinating her campaign with the County Commission candidates.
Three of those Ottawa County Commission districts overlap on top of the 86th House District, a district occupied by Ottawa Impact associated Nancy DeBoer, who once compared Roe V Wade to the Holocaust and said eating a weed cookie will make you jump off a balcony.
There are six winnable seats for Democrats on the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners. Two currently belong to Democrats. One is open and leans 8% blue. Two are within the margins gained by recent local candidates against OI. One flips if GVSU turns out. That's a majority.
Ottawa County Commission has more than 30 people running across 11 districts, and FOX 17 wants you to know your candidates before heading to the polls. fox17online.com/news/national-…
100 Days until #TeamKlomparens shows up to #flipthe86th! Shout out to my incredible partner @AdamSchuitema for knocking doors with me today 💙🧡 #voteklomparens #lakeshoretolansing
Great 1st day of Early Voting! 224 Ottawa Co. residents took time on a beautiful summer Saturday to make their voice heard. You can too - as early as tomorrow at 7am!

I would like to thank the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce @west_chamber for inviting me to the candidate forum today. It was great event and the candidates were able to share their views on important issues. I appreciate the opertunity to hear the opinions of everyone.
On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.
📣 ENDORSEMENT ALERT📣 I am proud to share my campaign has been endorsed by @UALocal174. This historic labor union represents skilled workers and promotes innovative workforce development across our State. Unions built Michigan, and Michigan built America! #UnionStrong
In this moment, I remain incredibly optimistic about our nation’s future and what lies ahead. #ThankYouJoe My full statement:
