Special Edition: Endorsed Candidates 2024

Hello Ottawa County Republicans,

Please see below, the results of the OCRP Endorsement Convention. These are your Endorsed Candidates, according the the Ottawa County Republican Delegation and the Republican Accountability Resolution. This Resolution contains the standards used to endorse the individual candidates you will see below. There were 189 credentialed delegates in attendance who voted. These are their choices as duly-elected delegates who represent their neighbors in their precincts. 

The Precinct Delegates are the most informed citizens on the content of the Republican Accountability Resolution and how all of the candidates measure up to it. The Delegation has united under strong leadership to prioritize the citizens' values above all else, by voting for the most ethical conservative candidates to represent them in office.

We will introduce you to the candidates first. Then at the end, we will show you the winning Talley sheet.

Items to Remember 

--Every registered voter in Ottawa County will consider the candidates below for the offices of Sheriff, Prosecutor, Treasurer, and the US Senate.

--You will vote for Commissioners by County Districts, so it's important to know which county district you reside in.

--The Office for United States Representative will be voted on by regional district. Voters will need to understand whether they reside in Regional District 3 or Regional District 4.

*Important: Some Republican candidates running in Ottawa County were not considered for endorsement because they do not have primary opponents. The Delegation held ballot-endorsement voting for candidates in contested races with primary challengers only.

Thank you and enjoy!

Voter Education--Michigan Supreme Court


Endorsed candidates for the Michigan Supreme Court will not be on your primary ballot in May. However, we've included them here because they were also endorsed by the Delegation. At the Republican State Convention, traditionally held in late August, the precinct-delegate body of the State of Michigan, which consists of thousands of delegates who represent thousands more from across the state, will convene in Lansing. The state delegation, as has been tradition in Michigan for both political parties for many decades, will vote for the Supreme Court candidates who appear on your ballot in the general election on November 5, 2024.

*There are two seats open on the Court this November. If the state delegation votes for them at state convention, their names will appear on your ballot in November.  

8 year term
