After a nationwide search, the Grand Rapids City Commission recently voted Joel Hondorp as the City’s next city clerk. Serving as Byron Township’s clerk since 2000, the City Commission pointed to Hondorp’s 22 years of clerk experience coupled with his strong commitment to increase voter turnout as admirable traits for his selection.
WGVU’s Daniel Boothe spoke with Hondorp about getting the job as well as looking ahead to the November election.
