Rose Freeman will be the NDP candidate in Rosthern-Shellbrook

"Rose has proven herself to be a strong advocate for her community and this whole region. As a business owner and chamber president, she knows what it takes to build a prosperous and sustainable economy. And as a mom, she cares deeply about ensuring that all kids in Saskatchewan get a great education and have loads of opportunities here. Rose will be a great MLA."

Freeman said she decided to seek elected office because she shares Broten's vision and wants to be at the forefront of positive changes that benefit her community, and all Saskatchewan families.

"I'm excited about this opportunity to represent the people of the Rosthern-Shellbrook constituency and to work with Cam Broten to deliver on what matters most to Saskatchewan families today­ — better health care, seniors care and education, smart investments in highways and infrastructure, and many more good, mortgage-paying jobs," said Freeman. "I agree with Cam that we're just scratching the surface of Saskatchewan's incredible potential right now. That includes rural Saskatchewan. It's a great place to live and it holds so much potential – but we need a government that doesn't take rural Saskatchewan for granted and that truly focuses on people's priorities.”

Freeman and her husband, Scott, have three children. She is an active volunteer with the Shell Lake Curling Club and the local preschool.
