Independent Campaign
On February 28, 2009 in the District of North Vancouver, Marley launched his campaign as an Independent candidate in British Columbia's West Vancouver-Capilano riding against incumbent Liberal MLA Ralph Sultan. Commentators compared Marley to Don Quixote or stated he had not made it easy for himself since West Vancouver-Capilano is probably the safest seat for the Liberals in BC.

Famous quotes containing the words independent and/or campaign:
“The ability to secure an independent livelihood and honorable employ suited to her education and capacities is the only true foundation of the social elevation of woman, even in the very highest classes of society. While she continues to be educated only to be somebody’s wife, and is left without any aim in life till that somebody either in love, or in pity, or in selfish regard at last grants her the opportunity, she can never be truly independent.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“The winter is to a woman of fashion what, of yore, a campaign was to the soldiers of the Empire.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
