The newly-acclaimed Tory candidate for Richmond says he’s eager to get campaigning.
Trevor Boudreau, a former Port Hawkesbury town councillor, was acclaimed as the PC candidate for Richmond Aug. 6.
Boudreau tells The Hawk a provincial election hasn’t been called yet, but he’d rather start sooner than later.
“When I made a decision to run municipally, once I made that decision, I started campaigning,” he says. “My goal in municipal politics eight years ago was to hit every door, knock on every door, (and) talk to as many people as I could.”
Boudreau says he’ll apply that same philosophy in his new role.
He says there are far more doors to knock on, so he needs all the time he can get.
Boudreau says it was the right time to make the switch to provincial politics.
He says he often worked with the governing liberals during his time on town council.
“I’ve been involved in municipal politics for the last seven-and-a-half years,” he says “I was having some difficulties with some of the decisions that the Stephen McNeil government had made.”
Boudreau says he thinks Tim Houston, the PC party leader, has the right idea about how the province should move forward.
