Organize Ottawa and the Ottawa County Democratic Party failed us. We lost a county commission seat, that was earned through great difficulty in a recall, and we failed to gain a state house seat that was on the table.

Instead, they chose to invest damn near everything in losing seats that were impossible to win by a slightly smaller margin.

Despite this, Ottawa County is one of the few counties in the country that moved away from Donald Trump between 2016 and 2020 and between 2020 and 2024. It might be the only county in the country that did this. We absolutely could have had this same effect while winning those two seats, but the leadership of Organize Ottawa exercised a dangerously short-sighted strategy, and the *leadership* of OCDP just went along for the ride instead of intervening as they were urged to do multiple times.

Elissa Slotkin is going to be the next senator from Michigan, and her extremely narrow margin of victory is pretty much the same as the amount of votes gained by Democrats in Ottawa County this year.

She probably wouldn't have won if it weren't for Joe Moss and Ottawa Impact existing, and us having activists on the ground ready to stand up to them and amplify the damage those Republicans have caused our community.

Ottawa County deserves better than Bill. It's so unbelievable for him to pretend to not know why so many voters are turning out early here. Everyone knows. Everyone across the state knows. His lack of leadership actively contributes to us being a laughing stock.

We have always known not to be indifferent to federal elections, but we had to learn the hard way not to be indifferent to our local elections. Now that we know we must pay attention to our county politics, make sure to drop your absentee ballots off, vote early, or show up on Election Day. Vote for the future you want to see.

State Representative Bradley Slagh has said the quiet part out loud. He thinks his job in Lansing is to do what Joe Moss and Ottawa Impact tells him to do.

The GOP is dominated by this MAGA brainröt from Mar-A-Lago to Lansing to Fillmore Street in Ottawa County. Voting for the Democratic Party straight ticket is the best and safest way for us in Ottawa County to hold these extreme politicians accountable.

One of my primary areas of advocacy as a commissioner is Community Mental Health. Did you know the number one health concern mentioned in the 2023 Community Health Needs Assessment was mental health?

I am honored to serve on the Community Mental Health (CMH) board, not as a commissioner, but as a member of the general public. In that position, I’ve been concerned that some members base their decisions about mental health resources on ideological biases. I’ve witnessed an implicit bias against the LGBTQ+ community in some decision making, and that is unacceptable, particularly when our LGBTQ+ youth are among the most vulnerable to mental health issues and su***de. When it comes to mental health, it is imperative that we make informed, unbiased decisions for the benefit of all county residents who are in need of mental health resources, as well as their families or caregivers.

Have you heard? Kamala Harris said she's going to build 3 million homes. Meanwhile, we have county board members who are still learning how property taxes work, and the majority that replaces them is either going to help Kamala address the housing crisis or resist her every step of the way. Whether they are Ottawa Impact MAGAs or Betsy DeVos' old school MAGAs, neither will take our housing crisis seriously.

Meanwhile, Democrats are far ahead of the curve on the issue, and you don't have to look far to see that. Holland was able to allow for more missing middle housing like duplexes in their Uniform Development Ordinance after replacing Nancy DeBoer with Nathan Bocks as mayor. Nancy has since gotten elected to the State House and hangs out with Joe Moss while she compares 50 years of reproductive freedom in this country to the Holocaust in Germany.

If you want to put a stop to West Michigan being controlled by a multi-level marketing fortune, and if you want to help fight the housing crisis, we need you to help us like, follow, and share content from these amazing Democratic candidates in Ottawa County:
Chris Crothers for County Commissioner
Chris Kleinjans for County Commissioner
Zylstra for Commissioner
Angela for Ottawa
Danielle Smith for Ottawa County Commissioner
Abby Klomparens for State Representative
Tim Meyer for State Representative

Some of these races will be on the table because the "anti-OI" GOP candidates who made it through their primaries at the expense of Ottawa Impact candidates, might be seeing a large portion of the traditional GOP support vanish or even show up to vote for their opponents. Ottawa Impact supporters truly feel bullied by DeVos, her money, and the elitists who stole control of the state party from their friend Kristina Karamo. More than zero of them are going to display this at the polls in one way or another in November.

In District 9, which gets discussed in the video below, Roger Belknap has the vast majority of his supporters concentrated in Robinson Township. Robinson, in addition to Grand Haven Township, and one precinct from Spring Lake Township are the entire district. Altogether, it is a R+5 District, but without Robertson Township, it is D+1.

District 9 also contains the precincts which are the best statewide bellwethers. A lot of folks think of bellwether precincts and districts as a type of tea leaf that tells you about the future, but they are really super revealing about the past as well. Here they tell us how well correlated statewide and nationwide phenomenon are with changes in specific districts. Based on what we're seeing nationally with the presidential candidates, and what we have been seeing in short-term trends as well as what we expect from congruent historic statewide and nationwide phenomenon, with enough doors getting knocked in Grand Haven Township, Democrats can take home a win at the county commission level there.

And we really do want to put w's in the chat in District 9, because the MAGA who won the primary is great friends with Bill Huizenga and Lee Chatfield, and has taken money from a PAC in return for him promising to caucus only with other extreme conservatives and not form a moderate coalition.

Face-eating leopards in Ottawa County have never been more satiated!

Betsy DeVos backed MAGA candidate for the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners Phil Kuyers was dead silent when his buddy Bill Huizenga signed the Texas amicus brief to try to overturn the 2020 vote in Michigan on behalf of Trump and the Big Lie.

Now that his Joe Moss backed MAGA opponent is making accusations of election fraud, Phil is suddenly convinced our elections are worthy of defending.

Phil's Democratic Party opponent, Angela Stanford-Butler, has stood up against not just Ottawa Impact, but also Trumpism and the Big Lie from day one. She will be a commissioner we can count on.

Remember, most of the members of Ottawa Impact, especially Gretchen Cosby have consistently insisted that concerns about election fraud, undeniably propagated by Trump, were the driving force and instigating spark towards them seeking office to begin with.

This is also what we can expect from multiple candidates in the general election, not just at the local level, but all the way up the ballot.

So, what was the evidence in this specific case that has Roger Belknap so upset? One TV station accidentally inverted the outcome of the race to put the final tally on the screen first, and quickly corrected it. Based on that, he's going to burn $6,000 on a recount.

As a proud and passionate ally of our unions, it’s an honor to receive the endorsement of the Michigan AFL-CIO. When we support union workers, we support a strong economy, a living wage, access to healthcare, and consumer/worker safety.

The increased spend from the DeVos family we promised was coming after the primary has begun. The House Republican Campaign Committee pulls in multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars from Betsy DeVos and her family and friends, including JC Huizenga, famous for grifting families through low quality online charter schools.

It's more than weird that the ad has Nancy performing what looks like a salute that was popular during the 3rd Reich in Germany, but the presence of the add online demonstrates that the spending from the GOP has begun.

Nancy's opponent is Abby Klomparens for State Representative and donating to and volunteering with her campaign are essential to countering the DeVos influence at all levels of our government, and we know they are actively trying to both take back the state house and regain control of the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners (and they have promised to work with Ottawa Impact Commissioners before they work with any Democrats). Abby's district overlaps the majority of districts one, two, and three, which data tells us are winnable by Democrats. The state coordinate campaign will also be targeting some of these areas for door knocking with their volunteers.

We've never had a better opportunity to show up for Democrats up and down the ballot in all of Ottawa County, especially on the north side of Holland, as demonstrated by the recall petition earlier this year.

Pete Hoekstra played Organize Ottawa like a 🎻

Ultra MAGA state rep Matt Maddock pretty much owns Jordan Epperson, Ben Wetmore, and Cameron Bricker, the 3 Ottawa County employees hired by the "Ottawa Impact"majority.

He's directly telling us that there's no difference between his people, Joe Moss's people, and Betsy DeVos' people. Republican participation in backing primary candidates outside of Ottawa Impact was an opp calculated to wash the reputation of the local GOP and unify the party to elect Donald Trump.

This is why John "Field"🙄 Reichardt was a bumbling mess on the radio with Mary Ellen Murphy, trying to deny Donald Trump's influence on the origins of Ottawa Impact. That's a stupid as it is absurd. If it weren't for Trump and Trumpism, no one in our county would know Joe Moss from Adam.

The Organize Ottawa group refuses to acknowledge that they got played, and they continue to pursue the course that was laid out for them by Pete Hoekstra and his allies.

Right now, there are Democrats running for Ottawa County board seats in districts 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10 who absolutely can win in November based on historic data. That's a board majority. Instead, Organize Ottawa is attempting to concentrate resources almost exclusively in District 8 (were they know Becky Patrick already has the resources she needs to win because the goal is turning out college students, and the Harris campaign is directly helping that objective at GVSU), and in District 6, an R +33 District. This is exactly what someone intelligent running the Republican Party would hope the Democrats would do.

If Pete Hoekstra and his lackies that are helping guide the hand of Organize Ottawa groups fooled you once, shame on them. They are trying to fool you a second time. What are you going to do?
