Janet, 'Mac' & Daryl
My husband Daryl Gray and I
made our home in the community of Bayswater more than 22 years ago.
In September, 2011 I retired from
the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) after a 31-year career. As a senior
executive at CBC, I had to balance budgets and be wise with taxpayer’s money.
I was also a television
reporter and producer of radio programs such as Maritime Noon which gave me an
understanding of many of the issues we face in rural Nova Scotia, including our constituency of Chester-St. Margaret’s.
During my time at CBC I
developed a love of politics. I met political leaders at all levels in
different parts of Canada. After meeting Jamie Baillie, the leader of the
Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia, I was impressed with his
credentials and ideas. That led me to join the party as a volunteer. NOW I WANT
TO DO MORE.
With my background and
experience I believe I can be a strong advocate for the residents of our constituency Chester-St. Margaret’s by being a member of a Nova Scotia Progressive
Conservative government.
