Remember when Jocelyn Benson participated in the administration that had restaurant workers arrested for opening during COVID? I do. #Michigan#NoBenson
Jocelyn Benson has spent more time building a national political brand than restoring confidence in Michigan elections. Michigan voters deserve leadership that answers questions directly instead of dismissing concerns and calling critics “extreme.” #Michigan#NoBenson
Michigan deserves election leadership focused on transparency, accountability, and confidence in the process, not headlines and political theater. Voters want trust rebuilt, not more division. #Michigan#NoBenson#BensonIsBad
With the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes this evening and overnight; make sure you have a way to receive warnings (that can wake you up) and know what your best shelter options are. If you don’t have a good option, reach out to friends or family.

@wzzm13 If I need to provide ID to use my 2A, you can provide ID to use your 15, 19, 24, and 26th Amendments.
Amazing how many of you demand ID for me to purchase a gun, but aren't willing to provide one to vote.
@DaniJurinsky I stand with you! Sounds like you went with the majority, and Bad Bunny lost.
Same crowd who are all butthurt they lost in the election as well. Stomping their little feet and throwing tantrums.
Hello Ottawa County residents,
Ottawa County Emergency Management is inviting community members to consider volunteering and becoming part of a team dedicated to protecting and supporting our county before, during, and after emergencies.
Volunteering with Emergency Management is more than lending a hand. It is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference while building connections with people who care deeply about their community.
Why volunteering matters
Volunteers are a vital part of emergency preparedness and response in Ottawa County. By volunteering, you can:
1. Help your neighbors during times of need and uncertainty
2. Support community preparedness efforts that make our county safer
3. Learn valuable skills related to emergency response and coordination
4. Meet new people and build lasting friendships with others who share a desire to help
5. Gain a strong sense of purpose and pride from serving your community
Many volunteers say the most rewarding part of their experience is knowing they helped someone on one of their worst days, or helped prevent an emergency from becoming worse.
How volunteers support Emergency Management
Volunteer opportunities may include assisting with community education and outreach, supporting emergency operations during activations, helping with training and exercises, or providing administrative and logistical support. Opportunities vary based on current needs, training requirements, and availability.
No matter your background, there may be a role that fits your interests, skills, and schedule.
