Her passion for our community and history of taking action to improve the lives of others are what our party is all about.” said Standeven.

Velonis thanked supporters and added “I had previously announced I wouldn’t run again mostly because of my professional commitments during the pandemic. We are rounding the corner on this challenging period and I’m ready to help our community recover and move forward. Chilliwack and Hope are vibrant and evolving communities and its time that view be reflected in Ottawa.”

Velonis is now the fourth confirmed candidate for #elxn44. The others are incumbent Conservative MP Mark Strahl, NDP’s DJ Pohl and PPC’s Rob Bogunovic.
