‘It’s Time For Change’ Carla Beck Formally Launches Campaign To Be Premier
Saskatchewan NDP Leader the 61st and final candidate nominated
This evening, Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck accepted her nomination in Regina-Lakeview and formally launched her provincial election campaign focused on getting Saskatchewan out of last place in education and healthcare, making life more affordable for families, getting tough on crime and building a strong and growing economy.
“My name is Carla Beck and I’m running to be your Premier!” the Leader declared to a crowd of over 500 supporters inside a packed Italian Centre.
“This is a province full of opportunity. While Scott Moe is focused on distraction and division, it is that opportunity — that hope for a better future — that I’m working for. A future with a strong and growing economy, where our communities are safe and welcoming and small businesses are thriving — where people can live a good life on the paycheques they take home after a hard day’s work.
“The future we’re working for is one where people can afford to put food on the table, buy clothes for their kids and keep a roof over their head. It’s one where everyone has access to quality healthcare, no matter where they live in this province — and where we value healthcare workers are valued as partners, not as an afterthought.
“A province where every child has the chance at a bright future. A quality education where teachers and education workers are respected as the professionals they are. And we’re taking out billboards to thank them, not to villify them.
“That, my friends, is what I see in our future. It’s time for change.”
Beck also talked about growing up on a farm in Lang and thanked longtime supporters in Regina-Lakeview, a community her family has called home for more than 30 years. The Leader was the final candidate to be nominated for the Saskatchewan NDP.
