The ousted Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel had previously described Ottawa County as "very conservative."

Republican county commissioner has been unseated in Michigan after losing to her Democratic challenger by 20 percentage points.

Chris Kleinjans won an Ottawa County election on Tuesday with 60 percent of the vote share, while the Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel lost, having received 40 percent.

Michigan is a battleground state that will be key to November’s presidential election. Donald Trump won the county with 61 percent of the vote in 2020.

    I was truly just kidding and poking fun at republicans, no need to hurl insults.

      Ah, fair enough, fair enough.

      Yeah, you got me then. I missed the /s in there. It’s been a long, long 8 years, so my patience has run thin for people who aren’t just making a joke.

      Appreciate you clarifying. Cheers! :)
