Last week, I spoke to voters in the Holland area about issues we're facing as a county as part of a @LWVHolland
candidate meet and greet event.

This links directly to the 5 minutes I was at the microphone:

The forum was held at Herrick District Library by City Hall in downtown Holland. After her group supported defunding Patmos Library, my opponent, Lucy Ebel, failed to show up for the event.

She did show up to city hall in 2020 to rant against an anti-discrimination ordinance.

Here's former mayor of Holland and current candidate for the 86th State House District against @LarryJackson86, Nancy DeBoer failing to come up with a justification for being the deciding against that anti-discrimination ordinance.

This vote helped lead to her getting unelected.

It's surprisingly difficult to figure out what thing Nancy said or did that ultimately led to Holland getting a decent mayor. We can't even ask her, because like my opponent Lucy Ebel, she is dodging a @MiVoterPower forum.

She's afraid of looking bad on video near Larry Jackson.

Lucy Ebel, my opponent in the race for Ottawa County Commission District 2, spoke against the anti-discrimination ordinance in the city of Holland twice. She ranted that the LGBTQ community doesn't need housing or employment protection because "homosexuals are all over the place"

After the co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party tweeted a hateful and homophobic slur against Michigan resident, Afghanistan veteran, and US Department of Transportation @SecretaryPete Buttigieg on 9-11, we know MIGOP is broken at all levels.

Despite the efforts of former mayor Nancy DeBoer, my opponent Lucy Ebel, and their allies to prevent the ordinance, it overwhelmingly passed both votes in 2020. A MI Supreme Court case also added these protections to our state constitution for all of MI!

What would @MalloryMcMorrow say in a situation like this 🤔

The statewide and national Republican Party is trying its hardest to hide the library defunding, LGBTQ+ hating, book banning, pro-forced birth MAGA fascism that makes up the core of their platform, especially in West Michigan.

I don't think we should let them 🤷🏽‍♂️
