James Stoutjesdyk, Southern Alberta Director - Candidate

My name is James Stoutjesdyk, and I am running for the position of Southern Director. Residing near Nobleford on an acreage with a hobby farm, my wife and I, along with our five active children aged 5-17, enjoy activities such as riding horses, raising steers for 4-H, dirt biking, and actively participating in our church and school community.
Statement of Purpose: Many ask me, "What made you put yourself out there as a candidate for becoming a board member?" My motivation for running for Southern Director stems from a concern for the future. We live in a society where our children are sent to school to be educated in life skills.
Unfortunately, schools have become places where they are made to question everything in their lives, to the point of even questioning their biological gender, yet somehow, multiplication remains complicated! We live in a time where leftist ideology is infiltrating every aspect of daily life. We are told to believe that abortion and MAID are somehow acceptable, that people should be reliant on government assistance, and where hard work, productivity, and prosperity are often criticized.
Concerns and Commitments: Looking at what goes on around us, where our culture is becoming increasingly liberal and "woke," where socialism is seeping into every facet, and where policies hurting children, marriages, families, the unborn, elderly, businesses, and productivity are endorsed by public leaders, it is clear that changes are needed. We also live in a time where many public officials are not being held accountable to taxpayers, personal agendas take precedence, and constituents are ignored. These situations ought not to be!
Vision and Goals: I aspire to be a socially conservative voice, guiding government towards grassroots efforts. My aim is to have our government adopt and implement policies voted on by us, the grassroots members, becoming the platform by which our province is governed, as a true grassroots party. I intend to work towards keeping our government more accountable and encouraging them to uphold our traditional values rooted in faith, family, and freedom.
Community Engagement: On the flip side, I also hope to continue to encourage constituents to buy party memberships, be involved in their local CA Boards, attend local and provincial AGMs, and actively participate in policy voting.
Together, we can make a difference and make Alberta the best place to live!
With a commitment based on common sense, integrity, family and community, I believe that I am the right choice for the position of Southern Director for the United Conservative Party of Alberta.
