Building a Better BC Fundraiser with John Horgan draws energetic crowd of supporters in Surrey
3-08-2017
Surrey - Hundreds gathered to hear BC NDP Leader John Horgan and show support for candidates Harry Bains and Ravi Kahlon on Sunday evening. The Riverside Signature Banquet Hall was bursting at the seams, when more than 700 people took part in a massive fundraiser. Most Surrey BC NDP candidates were in attendance including Rachna Singh running in Surrey-Green Timbers, Bruce Ralston for Surrey-Whalley, Jinny Sims running in Surrey-Panorama, Jagrup Brar for Surrey-Fleetwood and Aman Singh, the candidate in Richmond-Queensborough.
“The amount of people who came out in such weather to support Harry and I is evidence of the momentum of the BC NDP here in Surrey,” said Kahlon. “It shows how tired people are of Christy Clark's policies and her disregard for real people.
“The message was loud and clear,” said Bains. “People were excited and the crowd was ready to tell Christy Clark that they want a BC NDP government that works for everyone, not just the top 2% of British Columbians.”
In Surrey, overcrowded schools, growing crime rates, lack of public transit and affordability are on the top of people’s minds. With the election just over two months away, people are gearing up to defeat Christy Clark and the BC Liberals and elect a government that cares about real people and will build a better British Columbia.
