Bow River needs strong representation. JL knows how Ottawa works and knows what it takes to get results against a hostile establishment.

For nearly 5 years, JL has been serving the residents of Bow River in Ottawa as the Director of Parliamentary Affairs and right hand for Martin Shields, the outgoing Member of Parliament. Together with Conservative MPs across Canada, JL has advocated for Alberta’s interests and worked to hold the Liberal government responsible for their divisive, radical, and failed agenda.

JL stands out as the only candidate with immediate readiness to serve under a new Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre.

Having grown up in Chestermere, JL witnessed the Bow River riding grow into a dynamic region — a place where energy, agriculture, and recreation unite. A place to move your family or put down roots.

But after 9 years of this Liberal government, Alberta has been demonized, pushed down, and cast aside. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and their unelected bureaucrats have made life more expensive for Alberta families and prevented our province from prospering. Young people like me have been robbed of our futures and the possibility of buying a home. Seniors’ savings have been vaporized by inflation. 

JL will fight the Liberal establishment who want to obstruct and derail our Conservative plan to restore the promise of Canada. He will always defend Alberta’s interests and never compromise his values.

Born to a Portuguese and Croatian immigrant family, JL speaks 3 languages and is proud of his heritage. He grew up with a deep appreciation for culture and was raised with traditional Alberta values emphasizing hard work, humility, and determination. He earned his Political Science degree from the University of Calgary.

He considers it an immense honour to have served his neighbours and believes it would be a true privilege to continue serving their interests as their next Member of Parliament.
