As Conservative members made their way into the party’s leadership vote on May 27, volunteers for Andrew Scheer cheerfully handed out buttons supporting their candidate. Marshall was part of the 2006 Conservative campaign that saw Stephen Harper rise to power. On Friday, the Conservative party said it had full confidence in the leadership vote, despite concerns raised by Bernier’s supporters. But Scheer attracted considerable caucus support and a team of staff that proved steady hands on the tiller. Those factors, combined with the Conservative party’s strong fundraising efforts and a sizable membership list, are a good head start.
