Thank you to the League of Women Voters and everyone who came out to hear the candidates last Thursday! hollandsentinel.com/story/news/pol…

‘My goal as Commissioner, as it has been throughout, is to channel the diversity and richness of City of Holland residents as their representative to the County Board’ hollandsentinel.com/story/news/pol…
Grateful as always for the support of District Three residents who understood that the recall petition was based upon a vague and open ended Resolution. Looking forward to continue serving! fox17online.com/news/local-new…
Today, I filed for re-election to continue to be a positive presence on the County board, and make sure that Ottawa County government continues to address the issues that affect our community and its diverse needs. More at: zylstraforcountycommissioner.com

A quick update on my appeal of the recall language approved by the Election Commision back in September:
Thank you all for coming tonight! It’s great to be supported by such a wonderful community. Superb host committee led by Nancy Honor and Ken and Lorma Freestone and Becky Patrick, with food by Sara Roper and her team at Mother Tongue Kitchen.
Looking forward to see you tomorrow! facebook.com/events/s/octob…
Thank you, Ray Buursma, for your kind column today. The childhood innocence Resolution was simply another in a series of unfortunate actions that create uncertainty for staff as they go about their jobs of offering top notch services to residents. hollandsentinel.com/story/opinion/…
Thank you Jo Bird for your letter of support. It is truly appreciated! hollandsentinel.com/story/opinion/…
On Tuesday, I filed my appeal of the approval of recall language against me. As I said at the Clarity Hearing, I believe this Resolution had many structural shortcomings. If any resident of District 3 wishes to reach out, I would welcome your questions. hollandsentinel.com/story/news/pol…
The Election Commission voted in favor of the Recall Petition. I believe this Resolution had strong deficiencies, and I believe my no vote was the right one for me. If any member of District 3 wishes to reach out about my vote, I would most certainly welcome their questions.
The newly proposed FY 2024 Budget with Board leadership changes can be found at the link below. Notable changes include a $2.1M General Fund decrease to Public Health and a $243K increase to fund the proposed new Veteran Affairs Director position. miottawa.org/Departments/Fi…
Today I learned that a recall effort has been filed against me relating to my no vote on the Resolution regarding Childhood Innocence. I am asking for your help financially. You can donate by sending a check to CTE Doug Zylstra, 152 E 24th St, Holland MI 49423.
At this past Monday’s Budget Work Session, Board Chairman Joe Moss proposed the idea of drastic cuts to the Ottawa County Public Health Department. Over the last days, the Health Department has worked diligently to explain to the Ottawa community the meaning and the…

Sometimes little things can go a long way. Kent Co's weatherization program struggled to get rebates from DTE. After a few calls, I was able to connect our staff with the right folks at the utility. We're now expecting to bring in another $130k this year for energy efficiency!
@OCCommZylstra I admire you continuing to stand for what is right and for continuing to be the voice of reason for Ottawa County.
