Former Ontario Horse Racing Industry Association Executive Director Hector Clouthier this morning announced his candidacy to become the Independent Member of Parliament for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke
.
Clouthier has also announced that he has launched a website in regard to his initiative.
Clouthier's words, taken from his website, appear below.
I’ve had the great honour to represent this riding once before, and I welcome the opportunity to do so again. With your help, I plan to bring the people of Renfrew County the kind of representation they deserve, and honestly, haven’t been getting.
For too long, you’ve been taken for granted. For too long, promises have been made and not kept. And for too long, there’s been no accountability in this riding.
I know all about accountability. I also know that it’s something you should learn from, and over the past several years, I’ve done exactly that. And I humbly present myself before you again, beholden to no political party, and promising to carry your priorities to Parliament Hill like no other candidate can.
For ten years, your issues have not been advanced one bit, and with many, we’ve even lost ground. And, to me, that’s not good enough.
Not nearly good enough.
Together, we can make that change. Together, we will be heard!
