In Allegan County, incumbent Republican Mary Whiteford handily defeated Democrat John Andrysiak with 67 percent of the vote. Whiteford won a Special Election win earlier this year filling the rest of Cindy Gamrat’s term expiring at the end of this year.
“From day one I had to be boots on the ground representing my district and do the job that I was first elected to do. So, I’m just so relieved and honored that I was re-elected so that I can serve an entire term of two years and just keep working hard.”
Whiteford says she’ll work toward improving rural internet service and improving tourism.
