The Christian Heritage Party of Canada has a candidate in the Dauphin-Swan River Neepawa riding.
Jenni Johnson is a first time runner in politics.
“It felt like it was something that I couldn’t not do. So, I’m going for it, I’m looking forward particularly to the times when I can speak and speak about the issues that I think are important and not just important to me but I think they’re important to other people too.”
Johnson believes that principals are sometimes more important than policies.
“When I talk about issues, I’m not talking about specific legislation or necessarily specific policies, but, principals of freedom of speech, principals of the value and sanctity of life. I don’t think those are non-issues anymore in Canada, I don’t think those are things that have necessarily been put to rest. So, I want to talk about them and be someone who gives a voice to those issues.”
Since this is her first time, Johnson ’s looking forward to the opportunities to speak.
“Not everyone gets a chance to speak about what they believe in, what they’re passionate about, in a public way. That is one of the beautiful things about Canada, that I, as just a regular housewife in Roblin, Manitoba, that I can put my name on a ballot, stand on a stage, and speak about things I think are important.”
Johnson is running because in the last few elections she’s had trouble choosing which name to put a checkmark next to.
