With the recent resignation of MLA Heath MacDonald, residents of District 16 Cornwall-Meadowbank will be be given a chance to have their voices heard, by choosing a new representative in the province's legislature. While the by-election has to be called within six months, we expect the call will come much sooner.

As chair of the NDP PEI election readiness committee, I convened a meeting to begin the process of being ready for the by-election announcement.

We're well underway, having reached out to our team for vetting, media production and canvassing preparation.

We're now reaching out to our Island New Democrats. We are looking for that voice that will champion strong progressive values in Cornwall-Meadowbank

Deadline for registration is midnight, September 12.
