More Than

Just Talk

It has been a great privilege to serve our community for 20 years on the Kent County Commission. I've tried to represent ALL residents of my district, and Kent County, with competency, honesty and integrity.

It has been an honor to serve our community in a variety of leadership positions:

  • Minority Vice Chair, Kent County Commission
  • Vice Chair, network180 Community Mental Healtlh Authority Board
  • Member, Grand Rapids Downtown Development Authority Board
  • Member, Grand Rapids Monroe North TIFA
  • Member, Kent County Community Corrections Advisory Board
  • Member, Kent County Local Emergency Planning Committee
  • Chair, Grand Rapids Affordable Housing Fund Board

I'm still pretty involved in downtown, my Heritage Hill neighborhood, and housing issues. If I can help with any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at jtalen@aol.com.
