Jon has been recognized as one of the leading voices championing Grand Rapids in Lansing.
Let Them Know
In local government, the most important voice should be the voice of the people. Voters like you are the very people Jon is hoping to get support from. The list below represents some amazing people from various sectors who want to see Jon O'Connor continue in office as City Commissioner. And yet, it is YOUR support that will matter most to your colleagues, friends, family, and neighbors.
Add YOUR name to the growing list of REAL PEOPLE endorsing Commissioner O'Connor. Your influence is far greater than you know, and Jon is more than aware of it, recently telling his campaign team, "Yes. You can continue to seek endorsements and solicit the handful of well-known faces and agencies, but I would much rather see a list a mile long of our neighbors, the people who make the First Ward so special, the ones who live, work, play, serve, and worship here in this community. Get their endorsements. Get their support. Let them know that I am running to serve them."
