OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis became the first candidate to officially make it onto the final ballot for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC).
“It’s confirmed that I am the first candidate to make it on the ballot,” Lewis tweeted Tuesday.
“Hope, Unity and Compassion isn’t a mere slogan. It’s a way of doing politics that Canadians are desperate for.”
Lewis on Monday had tweeted that with the help of her “grassroots supporters,” hers was the first “campaign to announce that we have submitted the full $300,000 to officially get on the ballot.”
Lewis, who serves as the MP for the Ontario riding of Haldimand-Norfolk, announced a month ago that she will run to become the leader of the CPC.
The CPC will hold its leadership vote on September 10. Thus far, at least 10 candidates have put forth their names in the race, including CPC MP Pierre Poilievre, whom many consider the frontrunner.
However, Lewis had a strong showing in the 2020 CPC leadership race, garnering 25 percent of the vote, and has strong grassroots support.
She also has a stellar pro-life record
