What Public Officials Have to Say About John Westman:
“I have worked with John for 13 years as a township official on the Planning Commission. I have found him to be a committed, hard working, trustworthy individual who supports what has mattered most to me – a community aimed at maintaining its rural quality of life through the distant future. He has strongly supported and led our nationally recognized (PDR) preservation of development rights program preserving over 2,100 acres of farmland and beautiful natural features, considered high priority by the Huron River Watershed Council.
He made sure that the Natural River District (a state regulation designed to protect pristine water courses which our township is still fortunate to have), was added to our zoning ordinance to assure that we respect this often overlooked law in the frenzy of development/sprawl pressure. John works very hard to balance individual concerns with the overall wellbeing and future of the township. He continues to have my support and endorsement.”Erica Perry

I have come to know John as a fair, thoughtful leader who looks out for the best interest of the community. His positions have always been well-reasoned and fact-based. John Westman is, from my observation, a dedicated community leader who can always be counted on.”
