Liberal Party
In 1977 I ran for the Manitoba Liberals in the Provincial constituency of Fort Garry and lost. For four years after that I ran a weekly Liberal show on the local Videon TV channel. I interviewed guests, the most prominent of whom was Lloyd Axworthy.
All my life I have worked in various capacities for provincial and federal Liberals, most recently as President of the Calgary-Buffalo Constituency Association in 2006, the year Kent Hehr was nominated as the Liberal candidate and he became the MLA March 3, 2008!
My election experience has consisted mainly of door knocking and in an official capacity as Deputy Returning Officer at a polling station. The election process is very important to me and I enjoy seeing it operate effectively.
