Questionnaire Response

Andrew Swan - Minto

Why did you decide to run in the 2011 Manitoba election?

Our NDP government's investments in things like our schools, hospitals, and recreation facilities help to build communities. A mean-spirited Conservative government hurt families and neighbourhoods like mine in the 1990's.

What experience will you bring to compliment your role as MLA?

I understand the issues. I listen to my constituents and truly care about the future of our community and our province. I want the same things for my family that others want for theirs.

Is there anything in particular you would like to change in our province? In your electoral division?

Keeping our youth busy and away from gangs, affordable living and finding good jobs.
