National Council Candidate for the Conservative Party.

I had the pleasure of working with Cynthia Williams when she was the Co-Chair of the Alberta PC Leadership Convention in March 2017. It was a complex event and at times emotions ran high, but Cynthia was very organized, focused and led the team through a successful convention. She wanted the delegates to have an enjoyable experience and appreciated they had given up their weekend to attend.

Cynthia has deep political roots and connections and experience that will serve us all well if she is a successful CPC National Council candidate.

She has my vote. I hope she has yours as well.

I speak from experience when I say a challenge of our party is attracting and retaining new members and volunteers. A factor in this challenge is how we “welcome” and “treat” new and existing members. When I returned to the party, I was touched and impressed by the way Cynthia made me feel so very welcome and with her extensive understanding of internal and external communications. Add to that her massive network of contacts across Canada, and her record of getting things done. Every EDA needs a Cynthia Williams, and by her becoming a National Council Member, every riding gets a Cynthia Williams.

Why do I believe Cynthia Williams is the right person to be Alberta Representative on the National Council? For so many reasons.

She understands people and politics
She works hard – really hard
She’s an organizer, of both people and activities. If you’ve been on the receiving end of one of her phone calls or e-mails, you’ll know that already!
She’s a people connector. I’m an example. She brought me in and gave me things to do that kept me around.
She’s collaborative. I guess that’s why people like me stay.

It’s also bigger than that. Her commitment to our party nation-wide is compelling.
She knows people across the country
She’s in this for all the right reasons – for the members and for the party.
And she’s authentic and sincere. What you see is what you get with Cynthia.

I can’t think of anyone better for this job.

Cynthia Williams brings decades of grassroots involvement in the Conservative movement in Alberta. She understands our Party and its governance. And she brings strong leadership qualities and a solid understanding of what it takes to grow our Party. I am confident that Cynthia will be a dedicated and effective voice for Alberta Conservative members on National Council.

If Cynthia Williams were not already running for National Council, then my main concern for the 2021 CPC Convention would have been convincing her to run.  I really can’t think of anyone else quite like her.  I certainly can’t think of anybody else to whom I would sooner entrust the future of the Conservative Party of Canada in Alberta.

Cynthia uniquely respects and understands both the traditions of grassroots conservatives in Alberta as well as a willingness to embrace new ways of engaging younger people.

She is better than almost anyone I know when it comes to working past differences to pursue common goals, and her record of achieving those goals for Conservatives speaks for itself.

More than ever before, Alberta needs a Conservative victory in the next federal election.  And Alberta could not ask for a better person to serve on the National Council, and to help us win that victory, than Cynthia Williams.

I met Cynthia through her wide network while volunteering as she always does for our Party. She always brings a high level of energy which attracts new people. Cynthia is always there to organize and run events, volunteer at the doors and support our Party in every way.

I support electing Cynthia to our National Council because she is everything everybody wants in a Party volunteer.

Cynthia was my GOTV Chair in an election where every voted counted. I’m now the UCP-MLA for Calgary Currie because of my team, which Cynthia was an integral part. From the moment the campaign began she was there for me, in the office and at the doors.  She worked with our Campaign Office Manager to make sure people felt welcomed and included to build the team for Election Day, but also for after the election. Cynthia knows how to build a team and win elections. I am confident she will be a great representative for Alberta on the CPC National Council.
