(Hudsonville, MI) – Hudsonville Mayor Mark Northrup will run for the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners, challenging chairman Joe Moss. Northrup and Moss are both Republicans, but the mayor says they are “polar opposites.” The county board was taken over by a majority of commissioners backed by Moss’ Ottawa Impact conservative action group and Northrup says their actions have upset many county residents. He says they need to be thoughtful, appropriate, not have hidden agendas and bias and adds no one is winning as things are now.
