Editorial analysis (sourced)
Tap to compare perspectives — West Michigan is politically mixed.
Served as Holland mayor (2015–2019) and on city council before winning the 86th District seat. Constituents often cite familiarity with Holland's schools, downtown, and regional planning issues.
Chairs the House Education and Workforce Committee and serves on Energy, Health Policy, and Rules—giving the Holland area a senior voice on K-12 and workforce policy.
Won re-election in November 2024 with roughly 56% of the vote in District 86, defeating Democrat Abby Klomparens.
