I have been so touched by the thousands of emails and messages I have received since the Leadership election results were announced on Sunday night.

Today I spoke with Erin O’Toole. In addition to personally congratulating him on his victory and pledging my support, I confirmed my commitment to running as part of our Conservative team in the next election.

The exact seat that I will run for has yet to be determined, but I wanted to let you know that you can help me by contributing to my election readiness fund. That way no matter when the right seat opens up, or if the Liberals fall in a confidence vote in October, I will be ready and fully funded to take them on and win a seat in the House of Commons.

In order to pay off my final expenses from the leadership race and have a solid election war-chest ready to go, I am asking you to help me raise $50,000 by making a donation today.

It’s time to bring my approach of courage, compassion and common sense to Parliament and I’m excited to get to work on making that a reality.

Thank you once again.

Sincerely,
