Creating Jobs.  Protecting Life.  Fighting for Families.

Hi, I’m Mike Wawee Jr.  I grew up on the Westside, attended school there and now raise my son in Walker where I’ve lived the last 15 years.  As a parent and homeowner I understand how important responsible local government is.  As operator of Holy Cross Cemetery and a small business owner myself, I know the difficulty job creators face to make it in this economy.  I want to be your next County Commissioner because I have the skills to ensure our tax dollars are spent more efficiently and the willingness to serve.  All I need is your vote on August 3rd!

My Goals

  • Eliminate wasteful spending and use tax dollars more efficiently and effectively.
  • Use my experience as a job provider to create new jobs in Walker, Grand Rapids and across Kent County.
  • Advocate for seniors, children & families so they have access to county provided services.
