HALDIMAND—Last week, Haldimand-Norfolk MP Leslyn Lewis became the second person to officially announce their candidacy to potentially be the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

The Haldimand Press sent a series of questions to Lewis for insight as to why she decided to run, her platform, and why she believes she’s the right person for the job.

On her decision to run in the leadership race, she explained, “I’m running because I believe I can be a voice of hope, unity, and compassion. We need leadership that truly listens to Canadians. We need a leader who can not only unite our party, but all Canadians. We need to provide a hopeful vision for Canadians. I believe that I can be that kind of Conservative leader and eventually Prime Minister.”
