Dear Friends, I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the PC Party nomination in the riding of Niagara West-Glanbrook. Born at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Grimsby, I grew up in the riding of Niagara West-Glanbrook, first on Mountain Road in Beamsville and later Craig Boulevard in Grimsby. My mother was a hairdresser and my father delivered milk for Christie's Dairy (I preferred the ice cream), while I attended John Knox Memorial School in Fruitland.... As a proud son of Dutch immigrants, I know the value of hard work and have dedicated my adult life to serving the people of Niagara. I have served two terms as a city councillor and more recently, three terms as a Conservative Member of Parliament for St. Catharines. During this time I delivered more than $372 million in investments across the Niagara Region. I've helped our community assist those in need by creating the annual Hockey Night event fundraiser which has raised over $1 Million for United Way which supports numerous programs in St. Catharines, Thorold, Grimsby, Lincoln, West Lincoln and Niagara-on-the-Lake. I have held leadership roles at Queen’s Park including as Chief of Staff for Minister John Baird, and as Director of Caucus and Public Relations for Premier Mike Harris. More recently, I have worked closely with Ontario PC Party Leader Patrick Brown to revitalize our party so that we can win in 2018. As Party President and full time party volunteer I have fully dedicated myself to building our party up from the grassroots and preparing it to take back government in the next election. We are getting ready by raising the necessary funds and recruiting a strong team of excellent candidates. Now more than ever, we need a Government that will listen to Ontarians, focus on fixing our soaring energy rates, make life more affordable, and put an end to the waste and scandals of the Wynne Liberals. That is why I am running for this nomination to be your Ontario PC Party Candidate. I am committed to being a strong voice for you at Queen’s Park. I invite you to join me as we keep Niagara West-Glanbrook blue in 2018!
