While NDP prepare to nominate a candidate, Conservative hopeful Claire Rattee spreads the word on her issues of concern

With the NDP set for a Saturday nomination meeting to send their selected candidate out onto the campaign trail, one of the candidates already in place has been busy laying the groundwork for her many trips ahead through Skeena-Bulkley Valley this summer and fall.

Clair Rattée the Conservative Party candidate for the Northwest riding has been busy attending coffee get togethers, trades fairs and other community events in the last few months, as well as to use her Social media platforms to shape her campaign narrative for the months ahead.

Her most recent update from yesterday made note that her campaign will hit the road running on June 1st as she and her team prepare to go door to door to meet with residents of Skeena-Bulkley Valley and to hear of their issues and concerns.

She also issues a call for volunteers to help as the Conservative candidate looks to travel across one of the largest ridings to elect an MP in Ottawa.

So far, many of her social media notes have followed along with the traditional Conservative policies and stay true to many familiar observations. Those of providing for a focus on the middle class and the need to develop resources, pointing towards some of the anti-development themes that she suggests are followed by the Liberal, NDP and Green parties.


As one of the younger candidates to so far be seeking federal office, one of her first video addresses explores some of the concerns of youth and offers an indication as to what her focus is when it comes to opportunities for young residents of the region.

You can find more background on her campaign from her website, twitter feed and Facebook page.

For the moment, she and Christian Heritage party candidate Rod Taylor have the campaign trail to their own and they no doubt be watching for the news out of Terrace this Saturday.

They like many would be voters across the regions, will be watching to see who will be joining them on the road, as the various federal parties dispatch their candidates out to the political hustings, seeking to receive the nod from the voters to represent them in the House of Commons come November.
