The nomination for the Wildrose party has opened for Stony Plain riding, after much deliberation I've come to the very hard thought out decision to step back and remove myself from contention at this time.
This has not been an easy decision, circumstances in my life have arisen that makes this the only move that is right for me and my family at this time. Trying to raise a young family of four kids while balancing a booming business, staying evolved with church and community charities and trying to run a campaign have been too much and I must put the needs of my family first.
I would like to thank all those who decided to support me, your words, support and well wishes were kind and generous! Perhaps one day when my family is a bit older and time restraints not so tough I can be privileged to serve my community as a public servant. I have been in contact with the Party and they have expressed their thanks and hope that I stay involved which I would be happy too!
Once again I can't say thanks enough for all the support I received and look forward to continuing the relationships I've made in the community through this process!
