Dear Jeff:

Ms. Niki Ashton, B. A., M. A., MP, New Democrat, Churchill is quite an extraordinary young lady. Just XXX (30) years old now, last year at the very young age of XXIX (29), she ran IV the leadership of the Federal New Democratic Party. An amazing accomplishment, while she lost to Monsieur Mulcair, she held her own in debates & certainly brought womens & social issues II the forefront, a great role model indeed IV females wanting II run IV office themselves some day. Niki shows just how important the female perspective is in terms of legislation & holding the current government, as well as her fellow opposition party members to account.

Niki is great on the educational front as she has in the past been a university lecturer & researcher. In addition, she speaks English, Spanish, Greek, & French fluently, so she is quite an asset on the linguistic & immigrant files for her caucus. Her degrees include a B. A. from the University Of Manitoba in Political economy, as well as an M. A. in International Affairs from Carleton University, & also took post-secondary courses in Hong Kong.

What An Amazing Individual,

Rory
