MP Rechie Valdez (@rechie.valdez) delivered an emotional speech after her win in Mississauga-Streetsville on Monday. "This is a 'we' moment. We did this together ... Today we made history and her-story, as you helped elect the first #Filipina in parliament."
Valdez grew up in Mississauga-Streetsville and is replacing Liberal incumbent Gagan Sikand. She vowed to listen to the community and believes in two way- conversations.
Valdez is the second person of Filipino descent to be elected in the House of Commons after nearly two decades.
