| "NADINE KLEIN gets our endorsement. She has been involved with the county's mental health and substance abuse prevention initiatives, as well as trying to bring more diversity to the county's citizen advisory boards and committees. She supports a countywide 911 system and court consolidation, but not using county funds for farmland preservation." | ||
| The Grand Rapids Press (10/21/08) | ||
"My friend, Nadine Klein is a dedicated public servant with a long history of community service. Prior to becoming a County Commissioner, she was actively involved in the Grand Rapids Jaycees and served on several committees over many years. Now, as our Commissioner, she is the chair of the Community Mental Health Board, an advocate for prevention programs that help protect children from the horrors of abuse and neglect, and a forceful spokeswoman for county programs that support student achievement in our public schools. We need hard-working people like Nadine representing us. I am strongly encouraging you to vote for Commissioner Klein on November 4th." |

| Carol Paine-McGovern | ||
| Chair | ||

| "In the past two years, Nadine has served the residents of her district by voting to invest over $200 million in new infrastructure and economic development projects in the City of Grand Rapids. She is committed to serving our community." | ||
