When asked why he wanted to run for the Conservatives, Jenkins said his parents raised him with the ideal of being the change you want to see. He said his political journey started when he was in high school, noting Pictou East MLA and Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston was the first politician he met. Jenkins knocked on doors for Houston`s re-election campaign in 2017 and his leadership campaign in 2018. As for the federal side of things, Jenkins said he saw Liberal policies make life harder for Canadians and wanted to be part of the solution.
He said his long-term goal would be to help turn Nova Scotia from a have-not-province to a have-province.
