Contestant-Submitted Profile:

We’re at a critical time, Green Parties around the world are needed more than ever. If elected Leader, I’ll proudly represent our Party and work hard to encourage Manitobans support us and elect our first Green MLAs. My top priority will be continuing to engage with you, our members, so you’ll be more involved with GPM. I’ll help recruit more support – money, volunteers, and members – and will emphasize mentoring our young members. I’ll also expand our liaison with other Green Parties throughout Canada and internationally. And as always, I’ll focus on advocating on the Climate Emergency, Basic Income, Preventative Health and electoral reform.
