“I’ve known Stephen Kepley for twenty years. I’ve observed him as a competent, conscientious, hardworking, servant leader for Kentwood. The Mayor’s position is non-partisan and regardless of your political stripe, Stephen will continue to be an effective mayor and servant leader for all.”
Alan Lipner
