The Green Party of Canada has officially named Delta’s Craig DeCraene as its candidate for the 2019 federal election.

Last year DeCraene ran in the civic election for a seat on city council. Even though he did not win, he received more than 1,000 votes. Not bad for his first time in the political arena. After that experience, he decided he wanted to enter his name for nomination for the Green Party of Canada.

“I am honoured to be given the opportunity to work for you,” said DeCraene in a news release. “To make the voices of Delta citizens heard in Ottawa, and to put our future at the forefront of our decisions, I will work tirelessly to ensure the issues facing the residents of Delta are heard.”

DeCraene is a husband, father of two daughters and works in the auto glass replacement industry. He is running because he wants to help shape Canada for future generations. He wants his daughters to have the same, if not more opportunities as he did growing up. He cares deeply about the environment, the effects of Climate change and the impacts on Delta.
