June 3, 2026
Dear Commissioner Moss,
We are pleased to inform you that the Ottawa County Republican Delegation has overwhelmingly endorsed you for the office of District 89 Michigan State House Representative in the elections of 2026, both for the August 4th Primary, as well as for the General election on November 3rd. In keeping with the values and ideals of the OCRP, we are grateful you chose to be strongly and intentionally vetted by the Precinct Delegates of the OCRP. You have clearly proven to be, not only a person of conservative character but also someone who practices and lives by the values of the Republican Party put forward in our Accountability Resolution, unanimously passed by the delegation in February, 2024.
We believe you to be qualified and prepared to hold the office you seek and are assured you will govern according to the principles of the United States Constitution, emboldened by our Country’s founders.
Please use this endorsement to whatever degree you see fit, in order to enhance your campaign or campaign materials, as well as other mediums and platforms with which you are associated. Thank you for being a Republican candidate who “walks the walk.” We look forward to your success as Michigan’s next Representative from District 89 and also to the success of our entire state, which will be strengthened by the quality of your leadership.
We are proud to endorse you for office.
Sincerely,
The Ottawa County Republican Delegation
