New Westminster: Conservative Candidate

Orange Crush Dept: Donnelly won the seat for the NDP in a 2009 byelection, defeating Conservative candidate Diana Dilworth, and he repeated the performance again on Monday, according to Vancouver Sun. "It was a close race, but people were happy with my record," he said. "It was my first test as an MP, I didn't take anything for granted. I knocked on every door. This was a much bigger turnout, twice as big as the byelection," he said. Donnelly was more than 2,000 votes ahead of Dilworth at press time and holding aloft a bottle of Orange Crush representing the significant NDP gains on election night, a victorious Fin Donnelly thanked the voters in the New Westminster-Coquitlam riding for returning him to office. "I'm honoured to be able to go back to Ottawa to represent your interests," said Donnelly, who also thanked his opponents for their efforts. As reported in the news.
