Hello Friends,
Election day has passed and we are so pleased with the historic win for the Harper Conservatives! In Vancouver Centre our wonderful candidate Jennifer Clarke and her team brought us a result, that while short of our ultimate goal, surpassed many expectations and gives us great hope for the future. We increased our vote total by more than 1,100 to 15,323 (+8.0%). The gap between our vote total and that of the winning Liberal campaign was reduced from over 5,000 in 2008 to less than 3,000 this election. Our message of strong, stable, responsible Conservative government was heard across Canada, including in many new urban ridings like our own.
Thank you all for your support and energy over the campaign. We will keep you involved and informed (albeit a little less frequently compared to the last month!) as we continue to build the Conservative Brand in Vancouver Centre over the coming months. Last but certainly not least, thank you to our campaign team, especially our campaign manager John Aisenstat and our candidate Jennifer Clarke, who worked so hard over the past five weeks. Simply put, their dedication and sacrifice was inspiring.
Sincerely,
Patrick M. Haney
Vancouver Centre EDA President
