With the election campaign just about done, the candidates are sharing their reasons for why you should vote for them.

PPC candidate, Frank Godon says he can get things done in the riding.

“I have an extensive background in working with industry and helping companies come into certain areas and do work that has to be done. Our riding needs this. I promise that I’ll work for the people, work for those in our riding that need it and that’s everybody. That’s not just First Nations, that’s not just people in Dauphin, or Neepawa, or Russell, or any other towns, and not just the farmers. That’s everybody in the riding. I think that I will be the best person to represent them in Ottawa.”

Conservative candidate, Dan Mazier says he entered the race because he wants to be the voice for the riding.

“My past experience with KAP offered me to gain a lot of experience of how government works. I advocated for farmers all across this province and nationally, right across this country, in Ottawa and in the legislature here in Manitoba. I think I have a skill set that can really enhance our way of living or at least get our voice to Ottawa.”

Liberal candidate, Cathy Scofield-Singh says you should vote for her because she knows how people are feeling.

“I meet people where they’re at physically and emotionally, I know the issues my clients face from day to day and see how they struggle to make ends meet. I see the importance of having a national Pharmacare plan, I see the importance of lowering taxes for low and middle-income Manitobans. I will listen to the constituents of Dauphin, Swan River, and Neepawa and make sure their voice is heard. I have a loud voice.”

Christian Heritage Party candidate Jenni Johnson gives her thoughts.

“I’m appealing to the voter who believes his or her vote is more than just a strategic move or an obligatory casting of the ballot for the lesser of 2 or 5 evils. I’m appealing to the voter who cares about the moral integrity of this country and who sees his or her vote as a moral responsibility to vote for someone in good conscience, who’s promising to stand on Canadian values of life and freedom.”

Green Party candidate Kate Storey, says voting for her is a message.

“It’s a message that the parliament has to start thinking about the wellbeing of people and looking forward to the future. Governments are really famous for thinking about 2 days ahead, but governments really have to start thinking about the future.”

NDP candidate Laverne Lewycky says he’s the most experienced, adding he has parliamentary experience.

“I’ve experienced working in committees, in special committees we wrote the special committee report, equality now, which is a special committee on the participation of visible minorities in Canadian societies. I bring that kind of expertise and experience, parliamentary experience.”

Remember to go vote on Monday.
