Endorsements
Grand Rapids Press Endorsement— “Mr. Huizenga has the greatest depth of understanding of the issues in the field, and a pragmatic approach to the country’s many problems. He would bring a philosophy of fiscal conservatism to Washington, and fight federal mandates that have burdened states with extra costs. He supports more government transparency, so citizens know exactly where their money is being spent, especially when it comes to earmarks, those boutique spending bills that are used to curry political favor. He would take on federal spending and seek to cut regulatory red tape for businesses.”
Detroit Free Press Endorsement— “Of the seven Republicans running, BILL HUIZENGA, 41, of Zeeland is the most qualified and best choice. He was Hoekstra’s district director for six years and a state representative with leadership responsibility for six years after that, so he knows well the people he would represent and the process of getting things done in the public arena.”

Bill’s Agricultural Alliance
Roger Victory— “The unique opportunity of working side by side with Bill confirmed to me that West Michigan agriculture needs his representation… I don’t want my next representative spending the next two years learning the political process and the issues that are important to me. I want him fighting against spending and taxes from day one and for the needs of farmers.”
