Allison became involved in grassroots politics when she noticed the rights of parents and children, as well as those of everyday American citizens, were being neglected, abused, and overstepped by the government in response to Covid-19. Due to the government overreach in schools, which violated her own personal conscience and religious convictions, she resigned her much loved position as a teacher in August 2021.

Since taking office as a county commissioner, Allison has stood firm on the promises she made during her campaign in 2022 and has again signed the Contract with Ottawa as a means of ongoing accountability for her next term.

Amidst the raging battle for the soul of America, Allison recognizes that Ottawa County is pivotal to our state and that our state matters to this nation. If we want to protect all we hold dear on behalf of this generation and the generations to come, it is paramount that everyday citizens in our beautiful conservative county use their voices to speak at the local level.

Since taking office, Allison:

• Voted to end the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Department (that promoted divisive ideology focused on characteristics such as gender and gender identity, skin color, sexual preference, and religious beliefs) and to return county operations to focus on character, excellence, and merit, saving the county $286,000 per year

  • Constitutional County Resolution

Allison believes the church is a vital pillar to our community, and she and her family are an active part of Second Church of Allendale. Prior to running for office, Allison enjoyed serving as a Ladies Bible Study leader, teaching in Sunday School, leading Youth Group, participating as a Kids Hope USA mentor, and serving on the pastor search team from 2019-2021. Allison continues to seek wisdom and ask for accountability from her church pastoral team while serving in the role of an elected official.
