About Willard
For four decades in Manitoba, Willard Reaves has led by example. As a father, small-business owner, community advocate, and twenty-one-year public servant with the Manitoba Department of Justice, Willard's leadership style is simple and effective: listen first, do the right thing, and do a good job.
Willard’s life has been about building teams and serving communities. From professional sports to creating good local jobs through his investigation firm, to supporting organizations like Siloam Mission, United Way, Manitoba Wheelchair Sport Association, the Children’s Hospital Foundation, and Teen Stop Jeunesse. He knows that real change starts close to home and grows outward.
Now, Willard is stepping up to renew the Manitoba Liberal Party. By uniting members, recruiting new voices, rebuilding trust so our Party can once again champion fairness, opportunity, and hope in every corner of the province, I can only promise you that I will give it my all to make a real difference in the lives of Manitobans. Honest leadership. Real renewal.
The Comeback Starts Now.
With courage and vision, Willard is leading the charge to restore hope, rebuild trust, and make the Manitoba Liberals a force for positive change again.
“When I first got off the sidelines and ran for Fort Whyte MLA, I didn't do it for me. I did it for us. For eachother For all Manitobans. Each and every one. I heard the frustration at kitchen tables and in community centres, and I knew our politics could be better. Becomming MLP leader isn't only because I am the best person for the job.It's about bringing us together, making our Party strong, and delivering results that every single Manitoban can feel.”

Endorsements
Markus Chambers
I am extremely happy to provide my personal endorsement of my friend Willard Reaves. I have known Willard for the last forty years and know him to be an extremely genuine and caring individual.
As a professional athlete, Willard quickly endeared himself to the community and involved himself in numerous charitable organizations. These actions and many more speak to the quality of his character and responsiveness to all members of our diverse community.
Willard will represent every constituent in his riding with the utmost of his ability and will work diligently with his team at the Manitoba Legislature to increase accountability in the provincial government.
He wholeheartedly has my endorsement.
Hon. Dr. Jon Gerrard
“Over the last few years, I have got to know Willard Reaves and his wife Lise well. Not just a star former football player, Willard is an amazing person, with personal experience of the Justice system from his years in the Winnipeg’s Sheriff’s office, an understanding of business from owning his own business and a good grasp of issues in health care from his wife Lise, a nurse who has worked in Emergency and Urgent Care in Winnipeg.
He is passionate about mentoring youth and about supporting people in Fort Whyte where he has lived for 36 years and where he has raised his four children. We know he will be a strong and energetic representative for people should he be elected.”
Lise Reaves
“Willard is running to represent the people of our community because he truly wants to help, not because he wants to merely be a politician. Willard is a man of his word, and when he tells you he is going to do something he does it. I know that he will listen and that he will fight for what is right. Willard cares about our community and the people who live here. He has dedicated his life to helping others and I could not be prouder of his decision to run to be MLP Leader.”
Hon. Terry Duguid
“Willard has shown a true commitment to the community. He made the choice to stay in Winnipeg and make it his home after his football career. As a parent and husband, an active community resident and a member of the Manitoba Sheriff’s Service, Willard has supported both Winnipeg and Fort Whyte. He knows the issues and is willing to listen and take action. I am pleased to endorse Willard Reaves.”
