Novi, Mich. — Novi School Board Trustees George Kortlandt and Dennis O’Connor have joined the long list of supporters who endorse Bob Gatt for Novi Mayor.

“Bob Gatt is the experienced leader we need to help ensure that the City of Novi remains an attractive community for families and businesses,” said Kortlandt, who serves as Secretary on the Novi Board of Education.

Bob Gatt thanked them for their endorsement.

“It’s a privilege to have the support of these two prominent members of the Novi Board of Education,” Gatt said. “I’ve enjoyed working with the School Board while serving on City Council. As Mayor, I will continue to work closely with Dennis and George and partner with our schools to provide exceptional educational opportunities and services for our community.”
