HOLLAND, MI (WHTC AM/FM) -Saying several sitting members of the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners have been publicly embracing Democrat interference in the Republican primary, the county Republican Party Executive Committee has voted to censure six candidates for the board.
The vote against Matt Fenske, Roger Bergman, Al Dannenberg, Greg DeJong, Randy Meppelink, and Phil Kuyers came Thursday evening. In a press release issued Friday, the Ottawa County Republican Party said, “Many of those same commissioners were endorsed by two political groups with apparent ties to George Soros. The stated goal of those groups is to elect the most liberal person on the ballot in races were a Democrat does not have a chance to win.”
Keith den Hollander, the interim chairman of the Ottawa GOP, said, “Republicans, not Democrats, should choose the Republican nominee. While we welcome individuals who are abandoning the Democrat Party because of the failed agendas of Joe Biden and Gretchen Whitmer, those who seek to cause mischief and play political games are not welcome. Our primary process needs to be protected. I’m glad this motion passed overwhelmingly.”
