Chilliwack – After a false start and some embarrassing social media missteps, the Liberals have chosen Streams Executive Director Zeeshan Khan as the candidate for the April 28 Federal Election. Another candidate was allegedly named last weekend, however he is not the person running.
In a brief statement on his Facebook page, he confirmed that he is indeed, the candidate: Team Carney Liberal Party Candidate Chilliwack-Hope. From Newcomers to Community Leader – 13 Years in Canada!!
Thirteen years ago in April, Gulrukh & I made one of the hardest decisions of our lives. We left behind our careers, our family, and our friends—all in search of a better future. With three small kids, we arrived in Canada with nothing but hope, determination, and the will to start from scratch.
The journey was never easy. There were struggles, sacrifices, and moments of doubt. But through it all, the greatest gift has been the people we met along the way. From stepping into a community where we knew no one, today, we are surrounded by hundreds of incredible friends who have become our family.
And now, after 13 years, I am humbled and honored to be running as a Member of Parliament candidate (Chilliwack-Hope) for the Liberal Party of Canada | Parti libéral du Canada under the Leadership of Mark Carney to represent this beautiful community. My community projects in Chilliwack stand as a testament to my vision of bringing people together, fostering inclusivity, and strengthening the bonds that make our community so special. I firmly believe that people need to know how much you care before they care how much you know. And those who know me, know that I genuinely care about others.
Let’s run this campaign with dignity, kindness, empathy, and hard work. With my team I will be knocking thousands of doors in next couple of weeks and will be requesting your support!!
Let’s show the real power of community coming together to make a change in Chilliwack.
