Hi Laurie,

Thank you for taking time to run for office to represent the riding in which we live. We (the voting members of our family) feel you were the best candidate to represent our constituency.

Unfortunately we did not vote for you. I am sure we are not alone in casting our vote for another party (for some, not at all) because of the current leadership of the BC Liberals. We do not feel Ms. Clark represents the political view of the majority of the constituents in our riding as was displayed by the results of the Chilliwack-Hope byelection.

I am sure we are not alone in condemning the fact that a NDP MLA will voice our concerns in the legislature. Absolutely appalling!

Please help us and the majority of the good folks in our riding that vote conservative (small c) to give us an option to vote for you in the upcoming election. It is very obvious this goal cannot be achieved under the current leadership of the BC Liberal Party.

We look forward to voting for you in an upcoming election and thanks again for your devotion to your community by running for office.

Glen & Liz Monaghan Chilliwack
