The candidate’s own words
Why I’m running
There is room here for Claude Lefrançois to explain their commitment, priorities and what the numbers cannot tell us.

The questions we want to ask
Why are you running in this riding?
What should people know about you beyond your age or the difficult assignment?
What local issue do you want to bring to the National Assembly?
What would a successful campaign look like to you, even without winning?
What support are you receiving from your party and your team?
What do you hope to continue after election day?
A gap measured at the last election, not a prediction.
