About Ann

Dear Voters,

As a lifelong Kalamazoo County resident, I am excited about seeking a second term as a Kalamazoo County Commissioner. Kalamazoo County needs a County Commissioner who is a strong advocate for Agriculture and works continuously to improve the quality of life for our older adults.

One of my campaign promises included being an active County Commissioner. I believe that citizens in District 15 recognize a stronger collaborative relationship with Comstock Township, the City of Galesburg and Kalamazoo County Government. My regular attendance at the monthly meetings, community project involvement and frequent voter interaction has enhanced the bond. I look forward to future projects and strengthening the partnership.

I value being recognized as a hard-working County Commissioner. I take pride in being prepared for Commission meetings which requires making time to read and digest the information plus asking the right questions prior to the County Board of Commissioner’s meeting to maximize discussion and deliberation time.

These are challenging times and policy makers are faced with difficult decisions. Please visit my ISSUES section on the website to see where I stand on the issues. And email me your thoughts, suggestions and concerns to ann.nieuwenhuis@yahoo.com. I value your opinions.

I am proud of my accomplishments. I look forward to a second term so that I may help create and work toward achieving a long-term vision for a vital Kalamazoo County.

But I do need your help to continue this journey. Please lend your talent, your voice and your time to the campaign. Together, we can bring Common Sense Solutions to Kalamazoo County.
