Wes Nakagiri
County Commissioner
Exciting data from the primaries!
Between the votes for ✅ Ella Nikitin (D) and Meghan Williams (R) it was clear that WES IS NOT WELL LIKED in the community. Combined 💥 more people voted against than for him!💥
Wes Nakagiri was instrumental in the Clean Slate slate flipping 3 school board seats at midterms.
He advertised for them, contributed to their campaign financially, relentlessly bashing the Hartland Consolidated School district with bogus info, etc. Wes Nakagiri is likely supporting the Clean Slate 2.0 candidates as well. Here is an excellent data post debunking his attack on our schools.
Wes is not a friend of women!
Wes took away insurance coverage for elective abortion for Livingston County’s non-union employees. He spends tax dollars on only those things that he personally is in favor of. https://thelivingstonpost.com/thank-you-wes-nakagiri/
😡 White supremacy has no place in Livingston County politics
Wes admins a page that quotes white supremacists, promotes N@zi -N@zi-centric philosophy of Hans Hermann Hoppe, and wants us to teach this to school children! https://www.facebook.com/kasey.everly/posts/10214027413452056
Evidence of Wes’ extremism can be found in his own hostile words. https://www.whmi.com/.../county-board-omits-democrat-from…
Wes mocked mask-wearing and compared contract tracing to the Holocaust. https://www.facebook.com/kasey.everly/posts/10221339254443511
Wes demonstrates that he does not care about the county and is unsuited for this leadership position.
He denied U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin — our direct representative to Washington, D.C. — a spot on the agenda of the Livingston County Board of Commissioners (despite her request). https://thelivingstonpost.com/its-time-for-wes-nakagiri.../
Wes creates a toxic work environment.
Kate “Lawrence’s abrupt resignation screams out that something’s rotten on that board” https://thelivingstonpost.com/everything-we-needed-to.../
🙄Wes thinks that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training is racist against white people.
He went so far as to come up with a new rule in order to replace former County Commissioner Steve Williams (pro-DEI training) in order to install his favorite pastor and anti-DEI warrior as Livingston County’s representative on the Huron-Clinton Metroparks Authority. https://www.tiktok.com/@kase.../video/7109156813685132590…
It’s almost impressive Wes’ ability to stir up the far right in this county; it is relentless.

😳 Wes was instrumental in the misinformation campaign to turn down $1.5 MILLION to Livingston County for its health department** in the middle of a pandemic.
Painting health department workers as “agents of tyranny” https://thelivingstonpost.com/is-new-resolution-a-sign…
Wes opposes sensible approaches to rural broadband access.
He denies local townships control over how grant money is spent so it can go where access is truly needed. https://www.facebook.com/kasey.everly/posts/10224428077302152
Imagine the goals that can be reached by having another Commissioner who believes in true democracy and that all perspectives are important.
Here is evidence of Wes admitting he won't collaborate with anyone who is not conservative. Thankfully we have other Commissioners who hold democracy close to their hearts. Commissioner Griffith, Commissioner Gross, Commissioner Reader, and Commissioner Plank all spoke up against Wes’ statements. Those four Commissioners spoke about what true democracy is and the importance of having all perspectives on a topic in order to make a well-informed decision.

Wes has continuously proven that he is unfit to be on the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, and people are obviously over his tired culture-warrior politics. We need someone who represents ALL, not just those who subscribe to his radical views. Someone who approaches the job with a big-picture, good-for-EVERYONE attitude and can help to guide the board in doing what is best for all the residents of LivCo! More info on Wes’ opponent here
