Ken McFarlan and I worked together and he is a lovely, trusting and supportive friend. Everyday we get to know a little more about each other through the time we have spent walking through our neighbourhoods. Here’s how he describes his experience canvassing with me:
”It’s great fun to canvass with Rachael and to support her as she interacts with our community at front doors, local markets and on the street. Rachael is fearlessly authentic and regardless of whether individuals are receptive to her message, she listens, seeks to understand and appreciates that communities have many voices and opinions that must be bridged to try to accommodate diverse interests. She will stand her ground when challenged, but is always respectful and nonjudgmental. Like any good politician, she can withstand criticism and she has a great sense of humour. It’s not easy knocking on stranger’s doors and trying to get out the vote for your candidate, but I promise you’ll make some great memories on the campaign trail with Rachael.”
