For now, I’m going to treasure the extra time with my family, and hold my kids a little tighter. But no matter what, I will keep fighting - for climate justice, for an end to gender-based violence, and for a politics fiercely rooted in love, empathy, and care.

Thank you!

This wasn’t the outcome we hoped for, but the values that ground us - justice, compassion, courage, and care - are bigger than any one campaign. And I know that the movement we’ve built here in Victoria will continue to grow.

Many people on the door shared they wanted to vote NDP but felt too scared - of Trump and of Poilievre - and so many people said β€œit’s just this one time.”

I’m so proud of what we accomplished together - dentalcare, pharmacare, investments in childcare, eliminating international fossil fuel subsidies, changing the criminal code to better support survivors, and so much more.

And to the hundreds of volunteers, staff, and supporters who poured your hearts into this campaign: I hope you feel as proud of yourselves as I am of you. Every door knocked, every conversation, every early morning and late night - it was all worth it.

I want to congratulate Will Greaves on being elected as the next Member of Parliament for Victoria. I know he’ll bring his knowledge of Arctic sovereignty and Canada–U.S. relations to bear in service of our community and our country.

New Democrats will always fight to put people first and invest in a stronger, more equitable, social support system.

We made this video back in 2019 when I first ran to be a Member of Parliament and the message still rings true today.

We have an incredible group of New Democrat women running on Vancouver Island.

They’re collaborative, generous, & resilient - just what we need in Ottawa to ensure our gov is working for you!
