Look at this article

The life of a deputy involves a lot of sacrifice, travel and hours of work in the evening and on the weekend. The member of parliament for Richmond, Karine Vallières, knows something. She welcomed us in his constituency, the space of a day, to the edge of the “Karine a”mobile!

Also affectionately called his “4 1/2”, the car is a little like the second (or third) house of the member of parliament for Richmond. Boots all-terrain, food, flags of Quebec, spare clothing and make-up: we find everything necessary to survive the life of a member of parliament, who, we guess, must be quite demanding.

Moreover, Karine Vallières is a duty to be very present in her constituency, where she participated in the average of nine activities each weekend.

Also very active on social media, the member of parliament for Richmond shared many moments inside the “Karine a” mobile. This is one of the things that have piqued our curiosity and we want to go to the meeting of the young elected. It must be said that she was not afraid of ridicule!

While many politicians take care in their image meticulously and leave nothing to shine through and that is the seriousness of their functions, Karine Vallières, she is loose “loosely” on his social media!

“Me, I don’t want people to approach the policy. I want that the politicians closer to the people. And a way to do that is to show you this accessibility. My goal is really to show people that I’m here, this is for them,” she advocates.

On its social network, it broadcasts in particular moments of his daily life…

My godson told me to look well everywhere, because the elves tanning are coming soon apparently… and that they could play me well wrong turns 😉 #godmother #smart #pixie #godson #holidays #Christmas #magic #childhood

But also its moments of madness, in particular,

when she époumone on songs quétaines!

Everywhere we have been accompanied on the ground, Karine Vallières was welcomed warmly by the citizens of the corner. Exit “madam congresswoman” or “madame Vallieres”… everyone called by his first name. “It is our Karine”, have launched several encounters with people.

The fact that the politician is so close to the people of his constituency is probably not unrelated to the fact that it has succeeded his father, Yvon Vallières, who has been a member for more than 30 years – which made him the dean of the national Assembly before it takes its final bow.

And Karine Vallières she bathed in the policy world all his life. Today, his daughters Mercy and Roséliane that need to share their mom with the policy, a universe that is not “always pink”.

“In 2012, the first time that I am elected, Roséliane, which today has 15 years old, she was younger at that time, there was a reporter who puts the microphone under my nose and said to him: “So? Are you happy? Your mom has just won. How do you feel?” She said: “from today, I’m going to see my mom 54 days in the year””, she recalls.

In spite of everything, the politician passionate about doing everything in his power to bring the authenticity and color to this trade which, sometimes, can be rather sober.

“Me, I definitely all the time to have fun in what I do,” she says.
