Republican Women of Ottawa County president Rebekah Curran, one of the endorsed candidates, is running for an open seat on the county commission, where the incumbent is retiring. The others are challenging sitting commissioners.
The endorsed candidates are Gretchen Cosby in the 1st District, Lucy Ebel in the 2nd, Jacob Bonnema in the 4th, Joe Moss in the 5th, Rebekah Curran in the 7th, Sylvia Rhodea in the 8th, Roger Belknap in the 9th, Jenni Shepherd-Kelley in the 10th and Allison Miedema in the 11th.
The political action committee Ottawa Impact says its mission is to preserve and protect the individual rights of the people in Ottawa County, including freedom of speech, freedom of association, religious liberty, due process, and sanctity of conscience.
Republican Women of Ottawa County vice president Penny Pullen said, “The Ottawa Impact team has been highly critical, and rightly so, of most of the incumbent commissioners. We join the Ottawa Impact team in being concerned about their policies related to lockdowns in the recent pandemic and especially related to the public health department’s overreach as it affected schools, including even interference with the operation of Christian and other private schools.”
