Gabor Maté

Physician and best-selling author, Member of the Order of Canada

These fraught times of stress, uncertainty and polarization require leaders with vision, social compassion, empathy and good sense. Don Davies has long embodied these qualities in the realms of domestic policies, climate responsibility and global justice. This is why I support his candidacy for re-election."

Hon. Jody Wilson-Raybould

Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada

In politics there are three characteristics I see as fundamental in our political leaders: integrity, hard work and an unwavering commitment to community. While I remain fiercely independent and non-partisan, as the former MP for Vancouver Granville, I had the pleasure to work alongside Don Davies and I can say without question he exemplifies all three of these characteristics. In these challenging times, we need people like Don in Parliament more than ever. If I lived in Vancouver Kingsway, I would cast my vote for Don Davies.”

Glen Clark

Former BC Premier and MLA for Vancouver Kingsway

Don Davies is an outstanding Member of Parliament who was instrumental in achieving dental care for millions of Canadians. I'm fortunate to live in a constituency with such an effective MP. It's a privilege to endorse Don!"

Andrea Reimer

Vancouver City Councillor, 2008-2018 School Board Trustee, 2002-2005

For 17 years - both as a City Councillor and a constituent - I've watched Don Davies relentlessly stand up not just for Vancouver Kingsway but also for people who need government to work for them and their communities. There's never been a more important election to send an experienced, effective, hard-working MP back to Ottawa to fight for a strong, progressive Canada.”

Tom Elliott MD

Medical Director, BC Diabetes

I don’t live in Don’s riding and I don’t vote NDP — but he’s the reason National Pharmacare is happening. Starting in 2026, diabetes meds and devices will be free in B.C. That wouldn’t have happened without Don Davies. We need him in Parliament to keep it on track.”

Sharon Gregson

$10aDay Child Care Advocate

I’ve known Don Davies for many years. He’s always supported a quality, affordable child care system that respects early childhood educators. BC needs child care advocates like Don representing us in Ottawa.”

Stephen von Sychowski

President, Vancouver District Labour Council

Don Davies has always stood up for workers and unions. He's a champion for fair wages, safe workplaces, and strong labour rights. His unwavering commitment to the labour movement makes him an essential voice for Vancouver Kingsway and Canada. With Don in Parliament, workers know they have a true advocate fighting for them every day.”

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip

President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs

Don Davies has been a strong advocate for justice, equality, and reconciliation. His dedication to Indigenous rights, environmental protection, and social justice makes him a leader we can trust. I am proud to support him as he continues to fight for a better future for all."

Tom Perry MD

Former MLA and Minister of Advanced Education, Training and Technology

Don informs himself fully about important issues, listens to a wide range of people, and pursues intelligent policy solutions. He collaborates with MPs from all parties to improve life for of us in Canada. Without Don's initiative, we would not now have the beginnings of a national program to provide essential drugs and dental care to people who cannot afford them. And Don is a really fine human being! If you're disturbed by how Trump has degraded politics in the USA, you should particularly appreciate how lucky we are to have someone like Don Davies in Parliament. Don't miss this chance to re-elect a man of principle who will continue to make us proud of Canada and of democracy."

Balwant Sanghera

member of the Order of British Columbia and a recipient of the Queen’s Golden, Diamond, and Platinum Jubilee Medals.

As a retired school psychologist, I have seen firsthand how deeply Don cares about the future of our children. He listens, engages, and works tirelessly to understand and address the diverse needs of our multicultural communities. His commitment to building strong relationships ensures that everyone’s voice is heard and valued."

Murray Rankin

Former BC Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation

I have worked with Don Davies both as a fellow MP and in my role as a BC minister. He is extraordinarily talented: fiercely devoted to helping people in Vancouver Kingsway and also playing a huge role on the national stage, helping deliver dental care, Pharmacare and a school lunch program to needy Canadians. He is admired across party lines.

Don is a national treasure and richly deserves to be re-elected.”

Michelle Di Tomaso

Co-founder of Dense Breasts Canada

Don is the kind of leader every Canadian would be proud to have representing them. When I reached out in the early days of Dense Breasts Canada, he was the first federal politician to step up. Along this challenging journey, Don has always been there, offering help in every way he could. He’s been working behind the scenes for years to help save lives, including my own. Without Don’s dedication, I know in my heart that women’s health in Canada would not be getting the attention it’s getting today.”

Mary Cleaver

Climate Campaigner.

Over the years, Don has met with me and other climate campaigners in his office, at town halls, and at demonstrations. He supports common sense measures to mitigate the climate crisis and is an important voice for British Columbians in Ottawa."
