This is Jaine Klees and today, as Progressive Conservatives across Ontario cast their vote for the Leader of our Party, I want to encourage you to put the number 1 next to my husband’s name, Frank Klees, the Member of Provincial Parliament for Newmarket-Aurora, and the best candidate to lead our Party to victory in 2011.
In March of this year Frank and I discussed the prospect of his candidacy for the leadership of our Party. Frank’s experience as a MPP, a Cabinet Minister, his success in the world of business and his long history of commitment to our Party were all reasons for which I believed that Frank’s leadership would benefit the PC Party and the people of Ontario. But I also knew that, especially during these tough economic times, we need a Leader who is unequivocally committed to serving our province, and having witnessed Frank’s dedication to our family, I knew that no other candidate could be as committed as Frank to steering Ontario back on the right track.
I know how Frank’s sense of purpose has driven him to make sacrifices for the betterment of our community. Whether it’s been as a business leader, a Cabinet Minister at Queen’s Park or an opposition MPP, Frank’s steadfast support for the PC Party of Ontario, through thick and thin, speaks to the value he places on civic responsibility.
This is the overarching reason why Frank would make the best Party Leader and Premier: a sense of commitment unparalleled in Canadian politics. Frank’s personal and professional life is testimony to his belief in the core Progressive Conservative values of fiscal and social responsibility. He not only has the experience to lead this Party to victory in 2011 and bring prosperity to our province, but he also has the character, dedication and perseverance that will once again make Ontario the best place to live, work and raise a family, for each and every Ontarian willing to work hard for themselves and their families.
If you haven’t already voted in this Leadership Campaign, then today is your opportunity to choose a Leader who will transform our province. Today I am encouraging you to mark your ballot with the number 1 next to the name Frank Klees.
