Meijer previously tested Freightliner’s electric semitrucks in 2009 and 2019. The retailer’s trucks were partially funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to Diamler Truck North America. “Our fleet was chosen by Daimler Truck North America due to our past experience and partnerships on engine testing and data collection,” said Dave Hoover, director of outbound logistics at Meijer.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Meijer is offering free home delivery through Dec. 31 to customers who pay for their groceries using a federal food assistance program for low-income families. The Walker-based retailer said in a statement the move is part of an effort to “increase access to healthy and affordable food and reduce food insecurity.”“For example, earlier this year, we added SNAP benefits for online orders, as well as discounts on produce for SNAP customers,” the retailer said in a news release, referring to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Meijer began offering discounts to SNAP customers on qualifying produce in October after receiving a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the SNAP program. Meijer, a privately-owned and family-operated company, operates 499 stores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer on Sunday said a Democratic ad campaign to boost support for John Gibbs in the Republican primary for a West Michigan congressional seat could backfire “in a spectacular way” in the November election. “It’s a dangerous strategy,” Meijer said, speaking on CBS’ Face the Nation. The ad highlighted Gibbs’ endorsement by Trump, his service in the Trump administration, and said Gibbs would support policies such as “crack down on immigration” and a pro “patriotic” education in K-12 schools. The idea behind the ad, from Democrats’ perspective, was that Gibbs would be easier to beat than Meijer in the November general election. On Sunday, Meijer took responsibility for being defeated by Gibbs.

Meijer, a freshman Republican, was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection

Freshman Republican Rep. Peter Meijer voted to impeach Trump following the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.

Meijer issued a statement congratulating Gibbs on his victory at 1:30 a.m.“This was a hard-fought primary campaign, and I want to thank everyone in West Michigan for their support,” Meijer, 34, said in a statement. I also want to congratulate my opponent, John Gibbs, on his victory tonight. The result was a big upset for Meijer, who has high name recognition and a deep connection to West Michigan. Gibbs, 43, has a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Stanford University and a master’s degree in public administration from Harvard University. Paul Marklevitz, a 52-year-old auto mechanic from Byron Township, said his vote for Gibbs was largely a protest vote against Meijer.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer was locked in a tight race Tuesday night with John Gibbs, the former Trump administration employee who’s seeking to unseat the first-term Republican congressman. Meijer is seen as the more traditional, establishment Republican candidate while Gibbs has banked on support from grassroots activists and the Trump-wing of the party. It also includes the northern half of Ottawa County, including Allendale and Grand Haven. Southern Muskegon County, including the city of Muskegon, Norton Shores and Fruitport Township, is included in the district as well.

Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer, who witnessed the Capitol riot days after taking office in 2021 and then cast one of the 10 Republican votes to impeach Donald Trump over the attack, has lost his reelection bid.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has released a new TV ad about John Gibbs, who's seeking to oust Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Meijer. Meijer voted for Trump's impeachment.

It’s a risky, bold move that could backfire

Ottawa County GOP Chair Keith den Hollander said Gibbs has made progress in building his name recognition since coming into the race largely unknown las year. However, for some voters, the race is less about Gibbs than it is about casting a protest vote against Meijer. “He does not support Donald Trump, and so that’s my main issue,” said Cal Peters, 68, of Grandville. “We’re hitting the ground every single day,” he said, adding this his campaign’s internal polling show he’s ahead of Meijer in the race. In Ottawa County, there’s grassroots energy for Gibbs, but Meijer has enthusiastic supporters too, den Hollander said.

Meijer’s impeachment vote “creates a huge opportunity” for his campaign, Gibbs said. He consistently polls as GOP voters’ top choice for a 2024 presidential candidate, and his endorsements have already made a difference in other primaries. The GOP primary winner will face Democratic immigration attorney Hillary Scholten, who lost to Meijer in 2020 by 6 percentage points. “It’s a huge demerit against him in a primary,” Dulio said of Meijer’s impeachment vote. Despite his impeachment vote, Meijer said the Trump presidency still produced “tremendous policy successes,” including speeding up COVID-19 vaccines, improving criminal justice and pulling back military overseas.

Meijer, R-Grand Rapids, raised $578,749 from April through the end of June, while Gibbs raised $216,255 — less than half as much. Gibbs also is at a disadvantage when it comes to money left to spend in the primary, having $124,575 left in the bank compared to Meijer’s $1.4 million. Meijer is also far outspending Gibbs as well, by nearly three times the amount, having dropped about $687,393 compared to his opponent’s $173,616. For her part, Scholten reported spending a little under $210,865 during the period. Trump, aggrieved by the vote, wants Meijer and his compatriots voted out of office and has endorsed Gibbs.
