Questions from Constituents on the Campaign Trail

I have been asked some very good questions on the campaign trail by my constituents and by the Students of Edith Rogers School and McKernan School.  The two questions below are the most common I have been asked.

1. If you could do one thing while in office to leave a legacy, what would you do?

My legacy would be to get people to be more involved in politics.  It is clear that our democracy is dying when we saw in the last election where only 40% of Albertans decided to vote.  I would like to create a system where the MLA's have to actively engage their constituents on a regular basis and have MLA's be held accountable for their actions by having a yearly performance review done.

2. If you were elected MLA, what would be the first thing you would do?

I would follow the example set out by the Alberta Party. I will listen to my constituents, support good ideas in the legislature no matter which party has brought it forward and put my constituents first before my party.

I appreciate all the questions I have received and there are no silly questions.  Please share your views with me and ask the questions that matter to you most.  This goes for all candidates in this election.  Stand up an be heard.
