Headline: Michigan Advance, 6/18/2024
Democrat Chris Kleinjans made headlines last month after winning a special recall election to become Ottawa County’s newest commissioner on the GOP-dominated board.
Now he’s fighting for his job — and not the one in the boardroom.
Two weeks after Kleinjans defeated Ottawa Impact Republican incumbent Lucy Ebel to represent the 2nd District, he was informed by the Michigan State University Extension Office leadership that his new role as a commissioner was “incompatible” with his employment as a community nutrition instructor.
An attorney for Kleinjans, however, says MSU Extension leadership forced him out, bowing to political pressure from Ottawa Impact, which threatened to not renew the Extension’s contract with the county in December if Kleinjans was allowed to continue to work there.
