HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Ottawa Counties 89th District will have Jim Lilly as their new State Representative.
Lilly will replace term limited Amanda Price. “I think Amanda has done a lot of good things for us with respect with education and educational achievement. You know I look to sort of build upon those things, but where Amanda focused a lot of energy on early childhood education, which is important, I think we also need to focus on workforce and technical training. We need to make sure students are ready for work and have the skills to fill the jobs that are here in Michigan.”
Lilly is a West Ottawa High School graduate and is earning his MBA in Grand Valley State Universities evening masters program. His wife Sarah is a local realtor.
