Ottawa Impact PAC fails to file campaign finance forms

OTTAWA COUNTY — As the races heat up for Ottawa County’s Board of Commissioners, so is the spending from the candidates and its backers.

Where much of the money is coming from is still unclear, however, as a Jenison-based political advocacy group has not yet filed the required documentation with the county.

The deadline for filing campaign finance reports for candidates and political action committees for the period of January-July were due at 5 p.m. Friday, July 22. Nearly all the Republican incumbents seeking re-election for county commissioner met the deadline; their Republican challengers backed by Ottawa Impact did not.

The challengers filed, at least in part, by Monday evening.
