Andrea Grebenc will be the Liberal candidate for Burlington in the provincial election that might take place early in January.
Andrea Grebenc is now the Liberal candidate in the next provincial election.
Grebenc defeated Oliver Parker who was new to politics.
Grebenc has been politically active for some time.
She served as Chair of the Halton District School Board trustees and was the go to person for media on education issues for a significant period of time.
Right now the Progressive Conservative party does not have a candidate for the next election. The incumbent, Natalie Pierre announced recently that she would not be running again.
Grebenc now has an opportunity to build up a strong team.
Premier Ford has his own problems.
a disappointing result for many I’m sure. Her performance at the Thursday debate showed the victorious candidate has some work to do. Oliver ran a great campaign I think he will be back
Well done Andrea – richly deserved. And well done Oliver – you ran a respectful and engaged nomination campaign as well. I would have hoped that the local Provincial Liberal Association would have been able to announce the winner shortly after the vote count was completed. I notice that there is still no announcement on their website. This doesn’t speak particularly well for the nimble communications that are necessary during a campaign.
Congratulations to Andrea. She was an excellent school trustee and Chair who wasn’t afraid to speak out against Ford’s policies on education when needed. She’s been a wonderful advocate in Burlington and the provincial Liberals are lucky to have her as a candidate. Nice photo of Andrea and Oliver as well.
