Nomination Speech For MPP Kevin Flynn

Hello Everyone,
I’m Fraser Damoff and it is an honour for me to nominate Kevin Flynn as our Liberal candidate here in Oakville. I am currently a student at Brock University and have worked as an intern for the past two summers in the office of Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn.
Kevin Flynn is more than just your average MPP. I’m sure everyone in this room has a story about Kevin Flynn helping them out at one time or another. For me, my grandfather was at risk of going blind unless he received a new drug that was not covered by the Ontario government. My family approached Kevin for help and without hesitation Kevin got involved and I’m grateful to him for having a part in saving my grandfathers sight.
Kevin Flynn cares about Oakville and its citizens. Kevin Flynn stands up for all of Oakville and is proud to do so.
I think we would all agree that Kevin Flynn is great at what he does because he listens. No matter the issue, or a person’s political affiliation, Kevin is always willing to listen to what you have to say and help you out in whatever way he can.
A perfect example is the recent struggle to stop the power plant from coming to our town. Residents spoke to Kevin and Kevin listened. Kevin then worked tirelessly to stop the power plant. Our MPP, Kevin Flynn is a perfect fit for Oakville. If any other person was our MPP I wonder if they would have risked so much and put so much effort in to stopping the power plant!
Lets not forget that Kevin Flynn also has brought four new schools to Oakville so that Oakville’s youth can learn in state of the art facilities.
And what about our new state of the art hospital that Kevin brought to Oakville to replace the aging Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
Kevin is also a big supporter of youth involvement in politics. Kevin Flynn was a major contributor and supporter in establishing an active, engaged and hard working Oakville Young Liberals club.
As well, Kevin Flynn created OPYAC (Oakville Provincial Youth Advisory Council) where students from all over Oakville meet with Kevin to discuss issues of concern to them.
Another reason why Kevin Flynn is a perfect fit for Oakville is because he cares and takes part in our community. All too often politicians get elected and are invisible until the next election. But not Kevin Flynn! He is in our community, meeting and talking to people, and getting the job done.
No one works harder for Oakville than Kevin Flynn. Oakville needs Kevin Flynn. I am pleased to nominate Kevin Flynn as our candidate in the next election.
