Kicking it off with style

Michelle Mungall kicked off her election campaign today with characteristic energy with a jog down Baker Street. “I want to show Nelson-Creston that I have what it takes to set the pace in this campaign” said Mungall.

Michelle was joined by a large crowd of supporters and onlookers as she jogged down Baker Street meeting with future constituents. “We wanted our first event of the campaign to show the constituents of Nelson-Creston that I have the stamina and the training to go the distance. The jog down Baker Street was a fun way to get this message across.”

With Election Day only 28 days away Michelle will spend her time listening to constituents about what really matters to them. “Already on this brief jog I heard from the citizens of Nelson about what really matters to them; stopping the giveaway of public services and resources, making life more affordable for our families and increasing the numbers of nurses and health care professionals in our hospitals.”

“Together we can take back BC” says Mungall. “And together we can build a BC for everyone.”

Michelle Mungall’s Nelson NDP Campaign Office kicked off to a great start today. Over 70 people came out to enjoy food, music and a rousing talk from Michelle.

“I want to thank everyone who came out tonight and showed their support. I can tell by the level of enthusiasm and excitement in the room that this is going to be an excellent campaign,” Michelle told the group.

The crowd included previous MLA’s Corky Evans, Lorne Nicolson, MP Alex Atamanenko and Nelson City Councillors Robin Cherbo and Donna Macdonald. The crowd also included volunteers and workers from the health, mental health, environmental, seniors and housing group sectors.

“I am so thankful that the NDP message is resonating with a broad spectrum of people across Nelson-Creston. It proves that people of all ilks are eager for change. We are all ready to take back BC.”
