Meet Sam

41 years in District 3

Sam Whitaker took over Whitaker Hardware from his dad in 1998. The store has sponsored the Maple Ridge Little League every season since.

Sam served on the Maple Ridge Township planning board for six years, where he pushed to put meeting agendas online and move meetings to evenings so working people could come.

He and his wife Denise have two grown daughters and a very spoiled beagle named Rusty.
