David Braun 2023 Provincial Election Candidate Profile

Why did you decide to run?

I decided to run when my kids were forced to decide between their post-secondary education and taking the Jab. The Globalist agenda has gone too far and we need some real change and strong voices to carry Alberta into the future, free of corruption and senseless spending on harmful products such as PCR Tests and The Jab.

If elected, what would you want to implement?

I would first want to hear from the people in Grande Prairie want to be done first. We are not governed by party politics or held behind legacy political rules.

Why should residents vote for you?

I am NOT a politician, I can not be bought or swayed, I am a pure raw voice for Grande Prairie backed by a zero-nonsense political party and clearly puts constituents first and foremost above any political agenda. We have recall legislation built into our own party bylaws, so if you feel that I’m not doing a great job, I can be fired at any point (ex) a trip to Hawaii during the lockdowns…..

In the Peace Region specifically, what changes would you like to see?

I would like to see a review of our lacking health services by front-line workers and address the issues head-on.

I would like to prevent any incursions by the World Economic Forum and its globalist agenda in our region more specifically the fifteen-minute cities agenda, UN 2030, and especially all the overreach by the federal government.

If applicable, why have you chosen to align yourself with your political party?

The Independence Party is the only political party that will stand up against Ottawa and bring a referendum on leaving Canada to create a sanctuary within Canada for all who want to be free from globalist agendas and the constant abuse we receive from Ottawa.

If applicable, what things will your party do, if it forms a majority government that would make life better for Albertans, and northwestern residents?

We do not have the amount of candidates required to form a majority government but we WILL be a fierce and unfiltered voice for any Albertans that don’t believe that our leaders have our best interests in mind.

Flash forward four years, and you’ve been an elected official for some time, what would you want Albertan’s main takeaway from your time in the legislature to be?

I will be the REAL voice of the people, I will be the honest and straightforward MLA who wouldn’t back down on any political leader if they tried to take Alberta down a road we shouldn’t be on.

Tell us about yourself, growing up, life experiences, past careers, etc:

I was born and mostly raised in Calgary with about 10 years just east of Lloydminister in a small town of 300 people. I grew up extremely poor and lived on the streets in Calgary off and on between the ages of 14 and 16. I know what its like to be poor, hungry and to literally make it on my own. I moved to Grande Prairie when I was 20 and been here for nearly 23 years now. Raised My twin boys here who are now living in Lethbridge for college. I worked at the old Golden Inn back in the day doing a chef apprenticeship. I owned a DJ company for many years called Urban Trendz and made many friends doing playing music for schools and weddings throughout the Peace Region. I found my passion in the HVAC trade and My wife Gina and I own a small Business called TBA Heating and Cooling. Through Covid and all the mandates, we made it by because of a great customer base and are so blessed to call the Grande Prairie region our home Gina and I are huge supporters of all homeless and food bank programs in Grande Prairie because we know everyone has a universal right to food and shelter.
