David Bexte responds to election win

David Bexte has responded to the news of his election as the new MP for the Bow River riding.

Bexte won the seat for the Conservative Party of Canada, securing 44,511 votes, about 78 per cent of all ballots cast in the riding.

The new MP took to social media to express his gratitude.

“Throughout this campaign, I heard loud and clear that Pierre Poilievre’s message of putting Canada first resonated with the hard-working families of our riding,” Bexte wrote.

“We have a lot of work ahead of us, and now it is time to get at it.”

Bexte also set a record for the most votes a Conservative candidate has received in the riding.

StrathmoreNow reached out to Bexte for an interview but did not receive a response before publication.
