BROCKVILLE — NDP members in Leeds–Grenville–Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes have nominated Chris Wilson to be the local New Democrat candidate in the upcoming provincial election.
“Our communities deserve a voice that will fight for schools, hospitals, and a more affordable life for everyone,” said Wilson. “After seven years of Doug Ford’s shuttered emergency rooms and crumbling schools, people in rural communities are feeling taken for granted. It’s time we had a government that works for everyone.”
As someone with personal experience navigating Ontario’s underfunded healthcare system, Chris knows people should be able to expect more from their leaders. He’s been a tireless advocate for his community of Kemptville and a strong voice for stronger mental health support.
“Chris is a strong addition to our team,” said Marit Stiles, Leader of the Ontario NDP. “When we form a government, we’ll work together to hire doctors, fix schools, and rebuild a province full of opportunity.”
