2013 City Commission Endorsements:
Dave Peden, Superintendent Mona Shores Public Schools
“I am proud to endorse William Snyder for the position of Muskegon City Commission. As a life-long resident of Muskegon, he knows how bright the future can be for Muskegon.As a graduate of Mona Shores Public Schools, he knows that you get out of your community what you put into in. He is ready to join the long list of Mona Shores graduates impacting our region.
It is always a pleasure to see young people get involved and want to make a difference. I urge you to learn more about William during his campaign this summer. Hopefully, then you can join me in supporting this young man."
Jennifer Ashby, Mona Shores High School
"William Snyder is an outstanding person. His maturity and integrity are beyond belief. William's ability to think outside the box is incredible. He is a person that has faced many challenges in life, and has handled this with unparalleled diplomacy and decorum. William consistently deals with obstacles in a methodical and responsible manner. He has earned well-deserved respect in our community. William is the best choice to represent Muskegon. It would be difficult to imagine someone of more outstanding character."
Mike Walsh, Attorney and former Chronicle Reporter
"Will Snyder, at age 20, offers the City of Muskegon a fresh approach to its challenges. Let’s face it, Muskegon has issues – attracting new business, unemployment, declining housing stock, brownfields. We need to throw open the windows of City Hall to create a new atmosphere and a new vision for the city. Will Snyder has that ability.
After graduating high school, Will Snyder now attends college the old-fashioned way – working while taking Muskegon Community College courses. He brings this same work ethic to his passion, his hometown. I admire people who work hard for their futures and ours.
I’ve watched this young man work for what he’s believed in – cancer-research fundraising among them – and frankly I’m impressed by his motivation, drive, and work ethic. These qualities are what are needed on Muskegon’s city council. I urge you to vote for Will Snyder for Muskegon City Commission."
Kandace Boysen, Past President Mona Shores Board of Education and current Trustee
