Jennifer Burgess

Thank you to everyone for your support over the last month. While we did not get the results we hoped for, I am proud of the campaign we ran and I believe we made a difference. Political change doesn't happen quickly and change in Calgary can seem even slower. But I truly believe the conversations we started in this by-election changed the landscape of progressive politics in Calgary. And we will look back on this election a few years from now and remember when it all began! -Jennifer

Thanks Chantal. "Jennifer Burgess' passion for social justice is inspiring, and her ethical, honest approach to politics is refreshing. She is compassionate, caring, intelligent and strives to make a difference within the community. These qualities make her the perfect leader to take Calgary-Foothills into a new era of transparency and building strong communities." -Chantal Chagnon, activist with Idle No More Calgary / Cree8.ca

Monday is Election day, and we need your help to show Calgary that New Democrats are the only progressive choice for voters. On Thursday, Rachel Notley was in Calgary and made it clear that Alberta's New Democrats are absolutely committed to ensuring representation for the party here in Calgary. We've run a great campaign and I'm so proud of the work we've done in Foothills. On E-day, we need volunteer drivers and phoners to help us make sure our supporters get to the polls to cast their votes. Please join us! Call 403-869-8937 to sign up.

"What I'm hearing at the door is that people are pretty fed up with the Tories," said the communications consultant. "They're looking at their other options." http://www.calgaryherald.com//Will+Cal/10323344/story.html

Thanks Hugh! Jennifer wants to make a difference in my community and I am proud to support her demand for change. She is a woman of intelligence, honesty and compassion who supports and defends the rights of all for a chance to thrive and succeed on an equal field. Jennifer wants more for Alberta than the current government's cynical and indifferent 40-year-old status quo. Jennifer Burgess is a local organizer with a rock-solid commitment to a clear vision of what the people want; a government of honesty and integrity with a vision for a future that includes us all. -Hugh Graham, local freelance journalist
