JACKIE ROY WILL BE THE SASKATCHEWAN NDP CANDIDATE IN REGINA NORTHEAST
Roy Has Worked Tirelessly To Fight Back on Woman's Health, Francophone Affairs
REGINA – Jackie Roy has been nominated as the Regina Northeast candidate on Carla Beck’s team for the next provincial election.
She is an important member of the team, currently doing critical work as the Shadow Minister for Women's Health, the Status of Woman and Francophone Affairs, and as recently named Regina Caucus Chair.
Roy was first elected to the legislature in 2024 in an election that saw the Saskatchewan NDP double their seat count.
“Jackie is a tireless fighter for people all across Saskatchewan — she brings compassion and a disciplined worth ethic to everything she does,” Beck said. “Jackie isn't afraid to roll up her sleeves and get to work. She's shown up in enormous ways for the Francophone community and as a critical leader in the largest consultation on healthcare in Saskatchewan history. I am so excited to see what Jackie will do when we form the next government and get to work delivering the Saskatchewan people deserve.”
Prior to being elected, Roy spent nearly two decades as a middle-school teacher. During that time, she also worked vigorously on behalf of teachers when elected to the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) Provincial Council. She originally decided to run for office after witnessing decades of cuts, affecting students' education, career choices, and mental health by Scott Moe and the Sask. Party government.
"It has been a true honour to represent the good people of Regina Northeast over the last two years, and I look forward to continuing that work into the next election, and beyond," said Roy. “The Sask. Party have had two decades to deliver on their promises.
‘And yet healthcare, education and public safety have never been worse.
“It really is time for change."
