2024 CANDIDATE RESPONSES—COUNTY

Now more than ever, local elections matter for climate action
 

The November 5 general election is approaching quickly. As in 2022, the GR Climate Coalition is putting energy into helping our supporters and residents all over Grand Rapids and Kent County turn out to vote and make informed voting decisions in 2024. We want everyone in our community to have access to information about where candidates stand on issues of climate and environmental justice. (Note: GR Climate Coalition is not endorsing any candidates.)

​​

This page features Kent County Commission candidates’ responses to a standard questionnaire. 

​​​​​

All the candidates for Kent County Commission received an invitation to complete our questionnaire. If we received a response from a candidate, it is linked below (click on the candidate's name). Responses are listed numerically by District and alphabetically by last name if applicable. Please scroll down to find your candidates' responses, if available.
