MLA: Claire Trevena - North Island

Father, we pray that MLA: Claire Trevena will continue to represent the people of the North Island with the same committment and dedication that she has shown to this point.  Continue to surround her with those who will support and encourage her as she fulfills her mandate as opposition critic for Children and Family Development. May she also realize how much her efforts are appreciated by those she serves. Give her a renewed sense of strength, purpose and vision as the New Year approaches. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Claire Trevena was first elected in May 2005 and was re-elected on May 12, 2009.
