Tansi neighbours.

Fresh out of a long spring session, I am so glad to be home for the summer, and I couldn’t be more excited to knock on as many doors as I can, attend events in our community, and catch up with all of you!

The spring legislative session saw New Democrats use our power to deliver important programs to help lower costs for Albertans.

I am proud of all the work that our NDP team has done for everyday Edmontonians. From providing more affordable child care to delivering anti-scab legislation, New Democrats fought hard to help people keep more money in their pockets.

With new programs like dental care and pharmacare, we know every dollar counts. Meanwhile, Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives spent their time threatening to cut the expanded health coverage that people rely on.

Just 25 NDP MPs were able to accomplish this. Imagine how much more we could do for folks if we formed a government that would truly tackle corporate greed and stand up to the ultra-wealthy that are making life so unaffordable.

I’m excited to be out in our neighbourhoods talking to folks about how we can make life better! Below you will find some upcoming community events. I hope you will join us. 

Free community BBQ in Evansdale Park with MLA Sharif Haji: August 11th, 1 p.m.

Free community BBQ in Borden Park with MLA Janis Irwin, Councillor Ashley Salvador & EPSB Trustee Trisha Estabrooks: August 25th, 1 p.m.

I hope to see you around the constituency this summer!
