What a day! 🇺🇸 💥

The Ottawa GOP 2A Freedom Fair was an incredible success - great shooting, great people, and a powerful reminder of why we stand for faith, freedom, and the Second Amendment.

This year’s event was dedicated to the memory of Charlie Kirk, whose courage and conviction continue to inspire so many of us to stand strong for the values that make America great.

From family and friends to fellow patriots across Ottawa County, it was amazing to see our community come together in celebration of freedom.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make it happen - our sponsors, volunteers, and the North Ottawa Rod & Gun Club for hosting us at their newly renovated range.

Already looking forward to next year! 🎯🇺🇸

What an amazing turnout tonight — over 1,000 people came together to honor and continue the legacy of Charlie Kirk. 🇺🇸

A huge thank you to the MIGOP 3rd Congressional District for hosting and bringing us all together for this powerful evening of faith, reflection, and unity. 🙏🏻 🕯️

A huge thank you to 🙏🏻 Jenni Shepherd-Kelley, Chair of the MIGOP 3rd Congressional District, and to all of our generous sponsors who made the 3rd District Reception such a success 🐘🇺🇸

It’s inspiring to see 👏🏻 Ottawa GOP, Kent County GOP, and Muskegon County Republican Party coming together with shared purpose. The energy and unity 💪🏻 in the room was undeniable — a great sign of what’s ahead as we work together for victory in 2026 and beyond 🚀🏛️

The Ottawa County Democratic Party is at it again, attacking our local GOP legislators with false claims and cheap shots.

🚨 Let’s set the record straight.

Republicans do care deeply about public safety, foster youth, and assault survivors. The real debate is about how best to serve them. For too long, Lansing has thrown more money at broken systems while families see little improvement.

Smaller government doesn’t mean less compassion. It means more accountability and efficiency. Nonprofits, faith-based groups, and local organizations stretch every dollar further and deliver services that actually change lives. Our goal is to rebuild Michigan’s budget on a sustainable foundation and empower communities, not bureaucracy.

And the truth is this: Nancy DeBoer, Bradley Slagh, Luke Meerman, and Greg VanWoerkom have consistently earned the trust of Ottawa County voters because they put our community first. Suggesting otherwise isn’t just unfair. It’s an insult to the people who keep electing them.

That’s not neglect. That’s responsible leadership. 💪🇺🇸
