Mark Strahl has announced he will run for re-election in Chilliwack-Hope in the federal election April 28.
Strahl, a Conservative, has been the member of Parliament for the riding since 2011.
He released a statement on March 24, the day after the election was officially announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
“I was born and raised here and raised my own family here, and it has been an incredible honour to represent the people of Chilliwack–Hope since 2011,” said Strahl. “I am once again seeking the privilege to serve this amazing community as their Member of Parliament and continue to bring the common sense of the common people to the House of Commons.”
In his statement, he said the election is "a choice between change and more of the same," echoing statements made by Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre the day before.
“This Liberal government is seeking a fourth term, but after 10 years of Carney-Trudeau Liberals, crime is out of control, the cost of living has skyrocketed, our national debt has doubled and our country is in an extremely weak position to respond to the threat of Trump’s tariffs,” said Strahl.
“Only a new Conservative government, led by Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre, will put Canada First, stand up for Canadian workers and families, strengthen our borders, defend our sovereignty, and bring in a Common Sense plan to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.”
