Canadian Asian News Interview with Jan Mowbray
Candidate for Ontario NDP Nomination in Halton Riding
Milton, Ontario – November 5, 2013. Long time Halton resident and former Town of Milton Councillor, Jan Mowbray, has announced that she is seeking the Ontario NDP nomination for Halton riding.
Canadian Asian News recently asked Jan Mowbray three key questions:
Why did you leave the Liberals?
“I was no longer proud of what the party stood for nor its performance at Queen’s Park. When that happens, it’s time to look elsewhere.
You will see a lot of moderate voters in the next provincial election deciding that perpetually propping up Liberal and Conservative governments out of mere habit, is just not good enough anymore.
Ontario deserves better, Halton certainly does”.
Why did you turn to the NDP?
“With over 30 years years experience as an entrepreneur and in public service, I have a pretty good eye for what really works.
I believe NDP policies represent the best hope for a hard-working diverse community like Halton in important areas such as an improved transportation system, health care, affordable housing, and real job creation.
For almost two decades now, the two old-line parties have failed Ontarians. It really is time for a fresh approach. Andrea Horwath and the New Democrats provide that option.”
Why are you running for the NDP nomination?
“ Because it’s not in me to sit by and do nothing.
I believe that to give the best representation one must actually live in the community, be part of the community. I live in Milton, I’m an active, committed volunteer – I’m not just a seat filler. I’m recognized in Halton for my community involvement.
With two terms on Milton council covering 2003-2010, I have legislative experience. And, I have electoral experience having worked on both provincial and federal campaigns.
I have the community perspective, experience, and vision to effectively represent Halton in the next Ontario Legislature.”
Nomination Meeting Details:
Sunday November 17th – 3:30 pm – 6:30 pm
