Jon Rocha, candidate in the Republican primary to challenge Fred Upton in August 2022, recently was identified in a video from the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington D.C.
Rocha, a native of Kalamazoo, is a Mexican-American Marine veteran.
“I am someone who is tired of complaining about the issues and is ready to get something done,” he said in a candidate profile. “A Marine Corps Vet, football coach, father, and Patriot, ready to serve once again!
“I am not a rich politician. I am just a man tired of NOTHING being done in Congress, willing to put it all out on the line to bring the People’s Voice back to Congress. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is a simple principle that for whatever reason we have pushed away from. EVERY American deserves these opportunities and God Given Rights.”
Rocha said he believes the greatest challenges ahead are governmental overreach and control.
Upton, regarded as a moderate, has served in Congress since 1987. The Sixth Congressional District now takes in all of Allegan County.
