What a week of of inspiring women! On Monday Anita was invited by MP Yvonne Jones for lunch on Parliament Hill with fellow Ottawa Liberal candidates Karen McCrimmon and Catherine McKenna. That evening Anita was a guest of Hon. Bob Chiarelli for the Trillium dinner with Premier Kathleen Wynne.  To finish up an amazing week, Anita was the keynote speaker for the University of Ottawa Equal Voice chapter "She will Run" series to encourage women in politics. Anita spoke about her experience working with women all around the world on women's political participation. Anita has been a longtime supporter of Equal Voice and is passionate about encouraging more women to enter political life. What an amazing group of young women and men who came out! .Let's help change the status quo...here's to supporting more women in politics! 

Marlene Catterall, who was the Member of Parliament for Ottawa West-Nepean from 1988-2006 and who won five elections for Liberals in this riding, today endorsed Anita Vandenbeld for the nomination to become the next federal Liberal candidate in Ottawa West-Nepean. This is what she said:

-------

I am proud to support Anita Vandenbeld as our Liberal candidate for the next federal election.

I know what it takes to win as a Liberal in Ottawa West-Nepean. Anita has what it takes.

I know what it takes to earn the confidence, trust and loyalty of the people of Ottawa West-Nepean. Anita has what it takes.

I know what it takes to represent this wonderfully diverse community, to take to Parliament their voices, concerns and interests and to help achieve their hopes and aspirations for the future of our great country.Anita has what it takes.

In 2011, Anita ran one of the most successful Liberal campaigns in the country.  Running against a high profile popular Conservative minister she did 50% better the Party did nationally, an amazing personal achievement for a first-time candidate. Since that election she has continued to forge the relationships in our community and build the team that we need to win.

In some of the toughest places in the world, Anita has been on the front lines negotiating with leaders at the highest levels, training and supporting new parliaments and new democracies. She knows what representation means!

There’s no learning curve with Anita. Her Parliamentary experience as a policy analyst, as a political strategist and as Deputy Chief of Staff to the House Leader in the most recent Liberal government, means she will hit the ground running as our M.P.  She will get action on what matters to us.

I have full confidence that Anita will be a great candidate and a great M.P. for Ottawa West-Nepean.

Marlene Catterall,

Member of Parliament, 1988 -2006 (Ottawa West-Nepean)
