As you prepare to vote in today's critical election, we are pleased to announce three major endorsements for Jenn McGinn from Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and two key environmental leaders, Fin Donnelly and Will Horter. At a time when our city and our province are facing serious challenges, we need you to go out and vote for real action to end homelessness and protect our environment.

"Jenn McGinn has been a great advocate for the riding, and I know that if re-elected, she'll continue to stand up for our interests in Victoria. Whether it's protecting renters, championing child care or supporting small businesses on Cambie Street, Jenn has put the people of Vancouver-Fairview first."
