ABBOTSFORD, BC: Mike de Jong announced his campaign to seek the Conservative Party of Canada’s nomination for Abbotsford-South Langley, bringing a wealth of experience after holding various provincial cabinet positions while representing the same area as the Member of Legislative Assembly for 30 years.
“I am joining Perrie Poilievre’s common-sense movement, in support of the only leader who has the courage to discuss Canada’s need for fiscal responsibility,” says Michael de Jong. “I want to represent the people of Abbotsford – South Langley and bring responsible leadership to Ottawa.”
“The Federal budget confirmed for me the absolute necessity to elect a responsible government and put an end to Mr. Trudeau insatiable willingness to pile more crushing debt on the shoulders of Canadians,” said de Jong. “It’s about time that Mr. Trudeau stop using Canadian taxpayers as an ATM without any regard for the burden his constant tax increases and out of control spending are placing upon Canadian families.”
“In times of both challenge and prosperity, I have remained unwavering in my dedication to fiscal responsibility, ensuring that we live within our means while investing in the priorities that matter most to our community,” said de Jong. “My vision for Abbotsford-South Langley is one where economic strength and social well-being go hand in hand, guided by conservative principles that foster opportunity, security, and prosperity for all.”
Throughout his tenure in provincial politics, Michael de Jong has held key portfolios, including Finance, Health, Aboriginal Reconciliation, Forests and Attorney General, where he was instrumental in implementing policies that spurred economic growth, signed the only modern Canadian Aboriginal treaties, enhanced healthcare services, and maintained fiscal discipline. His leadership as BC’s Finance Minister was pivotal in achieving five balanced budgets, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to prudent financial management and accountability.
