Mike Callton announced he is running for the 24th State Senate District seat, now held by Sen. Mike Nofs. Callton, a chiropractor and former Barry County Commissioner, 87th District representative, and U.S. Army veteran, said Nofs is term-limited out.
“I can do a great job as your senator and I am asking for your support,” Callton said at the Hastings City Council meeting Monday. The 24th district covers Barry, Ionia and Calhoun counties, an area with 54 townships, 15 villages and 7 cities.
Callton is trying to visit as many jurisdictions as he can before the Aug.7 primary, and then again until Nov. 6.
