Ottawa Integrity PAC board members are pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Matt Fenske to our Board of Directors. Mr. Fenske’s wealth of experience in county government is invaluable in assessing candidates and campaigns. Matt exemplifies our values: commitment to democracy, respect for all constituents, integrity, and transparency. We look forward to a long partnership.
Mr. Fenske states: “I am joining the Board of Ottawa Integrity because I believe in local politics and the difference it can make in your everyday life. I want to be part of a board that holds representatives accountable to restore our spirit of generosity, collaboration, and respect. I respect diversity and the value it brings to the community. We need to elect leaders who recognize its importance. Under my leadership as a county commissioner, we were held in high regard by the counties within the State of Michigan. They looked to Ottawa for direction. Servant leaders ensure stable government.”
Matt Fenske served as Ottawa County Commissioner for 10 years in district 11, and was Board Chair in 2022. He chaired the County’s Community Mental Health Board, the Agricultural Preservation Board, and the County Insurance Authority. As a County Commissioner, Mr. Fenske exemplified a dedicated public servant with knowledge and integrity to serve all members of the Ottawa County community.
Mr. Fenske is currently the Chair of the Tallmadge Township Planning Commission and has served as a township trustee. Prior to being elected commissioner, Fenske had a 33-year career with the 17th Circuit Court in neighboring Kent County including Superintendent of the Kent County Juvenile Detention Center.
Matt’s County leadership focused on solutions that represented the resident’s best interest with balance, fairness, and honesty. He navigated issues of county growth while protecting the county’s stable government with transparency and accountability. He brought people together to ensure representation of all county residents, on a non-partisan basis. We need to restore services to our residents and continue to collaborate with local businesses, organizations, and educational institutions.
Ottawa Integrity PAC was formed in 2021 to support candidates for local office that uphold our Principles of Integrity. For more information visit: ottawaintegrity.org
