She would regularly raise money for a great cause. she was difficult to deal with but her intent was always good for the people.
She was elected as a liberal member but she could not stay in the liberal party for long and in the end, she chose to remain independent.
Helen worked to get women more rights
She was the one who changed the course on a very sensitive issue in American society. the issue of abortion criminalization. she wanted more rights for women and she helped them secure the right to abort their own children. She voted against her liberal colleagues and that obviously made her a villain for liberals. that is why she had to leave the party. such issues often cause rifts.
She was a hard-working person and she tabled many private member bills. She came up with an anti-smoking bill that banned smoking in closed premises such as (restaurants, clubs, pubs, malls, government office buildings, and hospitals).
Her husband was a retired brigadier once she left the liberal party she was left with small resources and her husband became her right hand during tough times. David was such a lovely human being who was friendly with all the colleagues of her wife.
