I have known and worked with Chris Ainsworth for over a decade. He is the most giving, thoughtful, compassionate & hard working person I know. He cares so much about the people in
his community, but even more so the community itself. There have been many occasions where I have seen Chris walking around and picking up garbage, cleaning up the mailbox areas that are always a disaster, and removing unwanted graffiti from public areas. These acts of kindness are known as a regular occurrence for him to partake in.
Not only do I, myself, endorse Chris, but my company Bounce Entertainment stands behind him. We look forward to supporting Chris on his journey to be re-elected as the Councillor for Ward 4.
