“I’m the proud to be of Dutch heritage, like so many of my West Michigan neighbors – hundreds of thousands of them, in fact!” Slagh said. “It’s a great part of the American tradition to celebrate the nations that combined to create our melting pot. The Dutch have contributed so much to our state and continue to do so. It’s an honor to introduce this measure and celebrate our ancestors.”

State Rep. Bradley Slagh invites residents to join him at his upcoming office hours in Jenison, Hudsonville, and Zeeland on Tuesday, Aug. 27.
