A Heart for The People, A Vision for Progress.
McKell Bonaby
Candidate for Mount Moriah
I am McKell Bonaby, Progressive Liberal Party candidate for Mount Moriah.
At my core, my passion is to advocate for those who believe their dreams should not be limited by their circumstances or barriers placed before them.
I am running to continue fixing what has been unaddressed for decades. I believe there is no greater work than uplifting our people. I stand ready to meet the challenges of our time with a resolute mind and a heart for the people, delivering steady and visionary leadership.
Progress means improving everyday life — more jobs, safer and cleaner neighborhoods, upgraded water systems, better roads, and continued investment in community spaces. When we Choose Progress, we choose stability, growth, and leadership that puts people first.
