Kelly DeRidder, Kitchener Centre
“I was elected to represent Kitchener Centre one year ago today. I want to thank the voters, my campaign team, my family, and my colleagues.”
“Mr. Speaker, one year ago today, I got that little blue check mark on election night that told me I was coming to the House of Commons to represent Kitchener Centre. I thank all the volunteers who dedicated their time. I thank all the voters who placed their trust in me. I thank my husband, Chris, my rock, who went with the flow when I blew up our lives. There is also my mother Merren, and I know Abigail’s life would be very different without my mother’s guidance and support at this time. I love my mom, and I thank her. To my caucus colleagues who have been around a while, I thank them for their guidance, their support, their conversation and every answered question. I value them all so much, and I thank them. To all my colleagues in the House, I wish a happy one-year anniversary to the class of 2025.”
