Allison Miedema was elected in 2022 to represent District 11 as county commissioner.

Allison has a teaching degree from Grand Valley State University with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood, and has taught preschool for 21 years in both public and private schools. Allison looks forward to bringing her expertise in child development to advocacy for the best interest of children in policy decisions made by Ottawa County. Through her work with hundreds of families, Allison fostered strong communication skills, relationships, teamwork, and goal setting.

Allison became involved in politics when she noticed the rights of parents and children, along with the everyday American citizen, were being neglected, abused, and overstepped by the government in response to COVID-19. Due to the government’s overreach into schools, which violated her own personal conscience and spiritual convictions, she resigned from her much-loved position as a teacher in August 2021. Allison understands the government must work for the people to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for citizens. She prioritizes freedom, the Constitution, and parental rights.

Allison is married to her best friend Brent, and they have a teenage son. Her family is an active part of a local church where she has led a lady’s Bible study, served as an active participant in the high school youth group and children’s ministries, and more recently served on the pastor search team. Allison enjoys camping, hiking, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
