GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Mayor Rosalynn Bliss has announced her campaign for reelection on Monday.

“I am proud of all that we have accomplished since 2015.  I am proud of our City and of how our progress represents contributions from citizens from across Grand Rapids,” Mayor Bliss said.

Bliss has held the position for the past few years and before that she served as a Second Ward City Commissioner for 10 years. She is hoping to keep her seat as mayor after the November 2019 election.
