鈥淚鈥檝e already called Gord Johns to congratulate him,鈥� said Wood. 鈥淗e ran a great campaign. He鈥檚 a well-liked incumbent, and he was a tough guy to run against. All our volunteers did a great job on my side of things, and were proud of our run at it. We look forward to Gord representing us really well in the next four years.
鈥淲e ran the strongest campaign we could. Of course we鈥檙e an up-and-coming party, so we don鈥檛 have all the resources that a couple of the other parties have. But we have a team of volunteers that just worked their butts off. It was just amazing to see the work that our team of volunteers could do. And so I鈥檓 very thankful for all of their hard work on the campaign.鈥�
