Anita is talented, enthusiastic, experienced, dedicated, and tireless.  Still, I am most impressed with her integrity, openness, and honesty.  Good nominees and good candidates must also be good people - and with Anita, we have found someone who is able and willing to represent the finest aspects of the Liberal brand.  She is hopeful and idealistic and will work to bring out the best in others and the best in ourselves.  Her experience in international affairs, expertise in women's rights, and focus on youth make her not only a qualified candidate, but someone who is able to embrace the job of a Parliamentarian on day one, and use that position to affect positive socio-political change.  I am confident in her ability to take back Ottawa West-Nepean, and serve the constituents well.  What more could one ask for in a nominee?

I've had the pleasure of meeting Anita a few times and in addition to her incredibly friendly and welcoming personality, I am always struck by her experience and expertise in a variety of areas. Whether you just want to have a simple conversation or an in depth discussion, Anita knows her stuff! She takes heart to learn your name and to remember it for the next time that you meet (and you will see her again because she is everywhere in the community!) and really cares about the people that she wants to help. I would be honoured to have her as an MP.

Anita Vandenbeld is seeking the Liberal Nomination in Ottawa West-Nepean, and I warmly support her candidacy. Anita has a rare blend of  impressive international credentials , along with the ideal character for someone pursuing public office. To say she's an expert on democracy and human rights is probably an understatement, and her practical experience on the world stage speaks for itself. Beyond that, Anita is friendly, approachable and humble. I know she's in it for the right reasons, and that the people of Ottawa West-Nepean would be well served by her hard work, intelligence and local approach to politics.

I’ve volunteered on over two dozen Liberal campaigns over the years, and it is rare that one comes across a candidate as talented, experienced, and importantly, as committed to engaging youth in the political process. As an expert in international affairs, building democracy, and women’s rights, Anita Vandenbeld is exactly the kind of candidate the Liberal Party of Canada needs for Ottawa West-Nepean.

With her international experience in promoting women's rights and democratic participation, I believe Canada needs more MP's like Anita Vandenbeld. She will be an excellent voice for the people of Ottawa West-Nepean.

Anita is THE ideal candidate for the Liberal nomination for Ottawa West-Nepean thanks to the fine balance of her unique international experience and commitment to politics in the Ottawa area, but also because of her commitment to engaging all demographics of people, especially youth, in the political process. Anita invokes a tremendous amount of passion in all of those that have had the pleasure of meeting her. Never before have I met a politician so open-minded, inviting, and kind.

From the first time I was told about her by a friend, I was excited to meet a woman as accomplished and motivated as Anita. On meeting her, I was pleasantly surprised by how humble, informed and approachable she was. Her passion to have youth involved in our communities inspired myself and numerous other students to get involved in her campaign. Working with her has been both an honor and a learning experience. I truly believe she is the best fit for MP for Ottawa West-Nepean.

A mutual friend suggested I grab a cup of coffee with Anita at her usual place at the usual time - Wednesday at 5:00 pm at Timmies on Carling. What stood out right away was her genuine interest in what I had to say about the issues I cared about as a young Canadian. Her decades of experience working abroad to further women's rights and democracy coupled with her tireless commitment to those living in her community makes her the only candidate for Ottawa West-Nepean. I encourage everyone, Liberal or not, to reach out and have a conversation with Anita. I'm certainly glad I did.

J'ai rencontré Mme Anita Vandenbeld il y a quelques semaines et j'ai eu l’opportunité de l'entendre et d'apprécier sa vision politique et sociale des grands enjeux qui nous confrontent. Dans ces temps troubles ou dans chaque pays les questions d'intégrité reviennent constamment, lorsque l'on parle de politique, il est rassurant que des personnes comme Anita veuille s'impliquer activement. Anita a une feuille de route impressionnante étant une experte en développement démocratique et en défense des droits des femmes. Mais au delà de tout c'est une femme d'honneur et de convictions qui, si elle est choisie, représentera les citoyens d’Ottawa-Ouest--Nepean avec honneur et dignité.
