Rehya Yazbek running for NDP in Dufferin–Caledon New Democrats in the federal riding of Dufferin-Caledon have nominated Rehya Yazbek to be their candidate in the upcoming federal election. “A mother of three, Rehya knows first-hand the pressures that middle-class families are facing from juggling work and home life to making ends meet,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “Rehya's been an advocate for her community for many years, and I know she'd be a strong voice in Dufferin-Caledon.” A working mom, with twenty years experience in the retail food sector, Yazbek currently works on staff for the United Food and Commercial Workers union and lives with her family outside Inglewood in rural Caledon where her husband runs a small business, repairing specialized auto components. Yazbek has been active in a number of organisations ranging from Amnesty International to her daughter's Girl Guide troop, where she was beloved as Sunshine Owl. “Many of the people I represent work in part-time and precarious work. They're working harder and harder but can't get ahead. Stephen Harper's plan just isn't working and that's why need change,” said Yazbek. “Tom Mulcair has a plan to help small businesses grow, create good jobs in our community and middle-class.” |
