“John Teeples is a man of integrity, with strong conservative principles, and a true servant-leadership mindset. He has a sharp legal mind and leadership qualities that deliver results. We would be fortunate to have him in service to our County.”

My Priorities
Seek to unite, not divide – No more revenge and fear mongering politics.
Restore confidence in our valued County staff members and affirm the respect that they deserve.
Follow the (OMA) Open Meetings Act and govern in the open – No more “surprises”.
Utilize fully vetted hiring processes – No more rash and imprudent decisions.
Keep our AAA bond rating and restore fiscally-sound decision making to protect our tax dollars.
Represent ALL citizens of Ottawa County. ALL voices will be respectfully heard.
Reinstate the rule to allow all County Commissioners to “publically” weigh in during public Board meetings AND to have committee assignments be fairly distributed among commissioners to ensure EQUAL representation of ALL districts.
Recognize and support our veterans and their sacrifices for our country.
Continue to make our park system the best in the state -a centerpiece of our County and a welcome mat to visitors and residents alike.
Make Ottawa County a place that we ALL belong- ensuring its future growth and stability.
We need the support of our local community to help get our message out and raise awareness about our campaign. We won’t be able to defeat the incumbent Ottawa Impact on Tuesday, August 6th without you!
Let’s Make
ottawa county
A Place you
Always belong
