Extremely proud to call our Liberal campaign in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford a success. When Luke Krayenhoff became the candidate, with 3 weeks to go until the election, I was brought on board as Campaign Manager to helm an electoral endeavour with no funds, no time, and hardly any volunteers.

In 21 days, we took the Liberals from being in a distant 4th place with a mere 6% of the vote in 2011 to 2nd place with 24% of the vote. A 300% increase is something to be proud of, and a performance worth celebrating alongside the new Liberal majority government.

I’ve had most election day roles over the years: I have been a scrutineer, I have phonebanked, and I have knocked on doors for last minute GOTV efforts, but never before have I driven senior citizens to vote. It is actually a lot of fun!

Big lines at some of the polling stations in Langford today! But if Thomas, the ailing 98 year old man I just escorted to the poll can gather up enough strength to leave the house and cast a ballot, then you sure as hell can… Millennials, I’m looking at you.

GET OUT. AND VOTE.
