Darryl supports Doug Hawkins for Conservative National Council
In a previous post, I endorsed Simon Chapelle and Kara Johnson for 2 out of the 4 Ontario seats on the Conservative national council. Today I am also proud to endorse Doug Hawkins for the third spot. Doug, like myself is originally from Northern Ontario - an area I think has the best potential for a breakthrough that would secure a Conservative majority. He is an advocate of the grassroots. Doug is an MBA graduate, self employed business owner and resident of Durham riding. His political experience is quite strong. I am also impressed with the fact that Doug has gone out of his way to solicit the opinions and priorities of other Conservatives as part of this process. Finally he has taken advantage of new technology such as blogging, Facebook and has proven to be accessible. At the Conservative policy convention in November; Ontario delegates should consider casting a vote for Simon Chapelle, Kara Johnson and Doug Hawkins. I am leaving the fourth spot open until the convention where I will be looking to meet the other candidates who are running.
Thanks for reading...
Darryl
