This election is a pivotal moment for Brussels, Belgium and Europe, and I am eager to contribute my experience and vision to the campaign. I am therefore very excited and honoured to present myself as an applicant for the position of the lead candidate french speaking list for the Brussels Regional Parliament.
Why I am running for lead-candidate?
I am running for the position of the lead candidate french speaking list for the Brussels Regional Parliament, as I have a clear vision on getting Volt elected in 2024. I am immensely grateful for the growth and support that Volt Belgium has seen over the past two years. As the lead-candidate I plan to lead and manage a team of ambitious campaigners that are not afraid of any challenges, as small or big as they might come, and successfully get Volters elected in 2024.
My 3 priorities as Lead-candidate
Fundraising
To get at least one Volter elected we estimated the need to fundraise approximately 250 to 300 thousand Euros. I am committed to harnessing the strength of my personal network, coupled with a profound emphasis on relationship-building, presents an opportune setting for realising this ambitious goal. Through my established connections and affiliations with European organisations, I am confident that Volt can effectively secure the necessary resources, be it through private investors, grants, or strategic collaborations.
Action
To get the signatures and eventually the votes, Volt Belgium needs to reach broad masses of the population. This means that Volt must seek media attention proactively as well as talking to people in the streets. I and other lead candidates of Volt as the face of Volt’s campaign must organise and participate in flyering and street campaigns, publish opinion pieces, appear on radio and television, and participate in online discourse. Paid advertisements will be of crucial importance to amplify Volt’s voice in the new, online and traditional media. We must also challenge the status-quo of polling stations, and request to be added on the Belgian StemWijzer/Election-compass. Getting the Volt known in Belgium, continuously, and increasingly, will be a deal-maker or breaker.
Community
I want to empower Volt’s vibrant community by training and sharing my experiences, recognizing that knowledge is the key to effective campaigning. This will be done with a big focus on gender equality, ensuring that we have a strong team of male, female and diverse candidates. With a commitment to fostering a culture of learning and engagement, I seek to transfer essential knowledge and skills to our members, enabling them to campaign with confidence and impact. Through workshops, webinars, and collaborative initiatives, I want to equip our community with the tools and expertise needed to advocate for positive change. By valuing education and collective action, I want to ensure that our members are not just campaigners but informed and empowered advocates for Volt!
Why should you trust me with your vote?
My time and my engagement with Volt has given me unique insights into the party that will be essential for leading the campaign in Brussels and Belgium. I have been a supporter of Volt since 2018 and officially became a member in 2019. I have seen and facilitated Volt going through numerous phases, from a small community of a handful of dreamers to a professional party with thousands of members across the continent and with over a hundred elected representatives.
Over the years I volunteered for Volt in numerous ways, such as organising events for the Brussels team, interning as a Communications assistant for the Belgian team, Community lead, Co-Secretary General and more recently as Co-President. In my different function I had the big pleasure of working closely with the Secretary General's Office, the Board of Administrator and my fellow functional leads as well as being part of a paneuropean movement that spans across all four corners of the continent. My experiences as a volunteer of Volt has only strengthened my commitment to contribute with my vision, time and insights to Volt’s campaign!
Some final words
Thank you for trusting me so far and I hope you will trust me with your support to become your lead-candidate for the francophone list for the Brussels regional parliament. I look forward to an exciting campaign with all of you.
