Kevin ran as the Liberal Party of Canada candidate for the Abbotsford-South Langley riding in the April 28, 2025 federal election, in this upcoming federal election. He was excited about the opportunity to campaign in this election, which he considered to be the most-consequential election in Canadian history. He was also excited about the opportunity to represent our Fraser Valley community in a federal election; hoping to be part of the Mark Carney government.
Kevin believed that Mark Carney was the best political leader in the election to represent this country, in our current tense trade climate with the United States and China; and in these uncertain economic times. Carney is an intelligent and educated economist with the education and experience to navigate global economic challenges and I sincerely believed in his vision to open up Canadian trade and build infrastructure to make “Canada Strong.”
As an educated former journalist who has lived and worked in the Central Fraser Valley for more than 30 years, Kevin has remained familiar with the issues facing the Abbotsford-Langley region, and this country. Pierre Poilievre's constant "Canada is Broken" rhetoric, his Trump-like campaign tactics, and his plans to cut services to seniors, veterans and Canadians are not the answer Canada needs.
