Not only has she proven with each conversation that she is knowledgeable about the issues that matter most to our community, but the way that she connects with people makes me confident that she would represent us incredibly well.


I offer Leslyn my full support as she works toward becoming the Member of Parliament for Haldimand-Norfolk,” said current MP Diane Finley.On August 17, 2020, Finley announced that she wouldn’t be running in the next federal election.Recently, Finley and Lewis were seen touring around both Haldimand and Norfolk Counties, meeting prominent people in the community, and Lewis has now begun house hunting in the riding.“In the tired and polarized world of Canadian politics, there is an exciting, refreshing and positive new candidate in the mix. 


I had the privilege of being introduced to Leslyn Lewis for the first time, and Canada’s Conservative party can only be positively energized with Leslyn on board. She is engaging, optimistic and genuine”, said Steve Fenton, President of Battlefield International located in Cayuga, Ontario ... the county seat of Haldimand County.


He continued, “I don’t think it’s possible to spend time conversing with her regarding any topic and not leave the conversation with a fresh upbeat perspective about the subject. Leslyn Lewis is a highly intelligent and bright new light in Canada’s political world well worth considering regardless of the party you presently support.”“Leslyn Lewis is very straight-forward and I like that.

When it comes to the environment, Lewis has consistently promoted a plan that includes incentives for green tech and tax credits for green home and business renovations over a carbon tax.“To me, if you want to get things done and do them well, you need courage, compassion and common sense.
