Madison Fleischer has been named the candidate for the Liberal Party of Canada in the upcoming byelection in the Cloverdale-Langley City electoral district.
According to a press release, Fleischer is a small business owner and community leader.
Sachit Mehra, president of the Liberal Party, said Fleischer is an experienced leader.
“Madison is ready to build a better future for everyone in her community,” Mehra said in the release. “Madison is ready to work with our Liberal team to build more affordable homes, strengthen our public health care system, keep guns out of our communities, and grow an economy that works for all British Columbians.”
The release notes Fleischer has “deep roots” in the area as she went to Trinity Western University and now runs a public relations firm in Langley.
“With over a decade of community service, her contributions have earned her many accolades, including recognition as one of Surrey’s Top 25 Under 25 for her project, Slava Sweatshirts, that helped provide financial assistance to Ukrainians amidst the ongoing conflict.”
Fleischer said she knows what the priorities are for families in an electoral district that stretches from Newton, through Cloverdale, and drops down into Langley.
“I’m ready to get to work to deliver a better future for our community,” she said in the release. “Together, we can make sure everyone is able to visit the dentist, afford a home of their own, and get the prescription medications they need.”
Fleischer added she’ll work for the best interests of those living in the riding.
“I’m fighting to make life more affordable, deliver stronger public health care, take bold climate action, and create new local jobs and an economy that works for everyone in our community.”
Fleischer will face off against Tamara Jansen (Conservatives), Pat McCutcheon (Greens), and Vanessa Sharma (NDP).
