“I had the opportunity to work with Mark Northrup while I was serving as the Undersheriff of Ottawa County and then again later while serving as a Hudsonville City Commissioner.
During my professional interactions with him, I have always found Mark to be very credible, respected and well prepared as he conducted his Commission and Mayoral duties with the City of Hudsonville.
Mark has established himself as being a natural leader and he has utilized those skills to guide the City of Hudsonville to a good place in our community, with his primary focus always being to serve the public in a fiscally responsible and accountable way.
We look forward to Mark Northrup being given the opportunity to serve us at the County level as well.”
