Lesley Hughes Manitoba Federal Liberals need you!!

At our recent LPC(M) AGM Lesley Hughes was a member of the Media Panel organized by Canadian Juno and Gemini Award Winning Producer and Director Don Marks. Lesley was invigorating in her promotion of CBC radio and the role which Canadian content plays in our social and cultural fabric. She defended the CBC against the privatization, "stay out of the market place" arguments which came both from participants on the floor and from her fellow Media panelist. Lesley was both respectful and strong in her approach and demonstrated that she is not only an eloquent orator but a women of substance and conviction. We need this type of individual badly in the Manitoba Federal Liberal Caucus. I for one would love to see her carry the Liberal Banner against Joy Smith, Judy Wasylicia-Leis or Stephen Fletcher. Lesley has the skill set, reputation and integrity to be not only a strong voice but also a long term Liberal MP. We need more women of substance running for public office in Manitoba, women like Lesley, like Wendy Menzies in Neepawa, like Jennifer Lukovich in Selkirk, like Valerie Galley and Joyce Bateman and Bobbi Ethier in Winnipeg. With a superb President of the LPC(M) in Sharon MacArthur and absolutely great ERC Co-Chairs in Deb Morrison and Jane Nikkel we need more women candidates.
