Strong support for the Haldimand\u002DNorfolk MP helps her get there before frontrunner Pierre Poilievre
The MP for Haldimand-Norfolk, who is achieving this milestone before frontrunner and fellow MP Pierre Poilievre, tweeted the news on Monday afternoon. She included a picture of herself, as she has done every step along the way, with the mention “officially on the ballot.”
The National Post has independently confirmed that she is indeed the first campaign to have completed all the required steps set out by the party. Poilievre, former Quebec premier Jean Charest, Parry Sound-Muskoka MP Scott Aitchison and independent Ontario MPP Roman Baber have at least submitted $50,000 to the party to be deemed “approved” candidates. They are all listed on the party’s website as candidates.
