Colter Simmonds to carry NDP banner in Preston byelection
“. . .
NDP Leader Claudia Chender said Simmonds is a recognized mentor for young people and represents a generation of people in Preston who are tired of the status quo.
"I think Colter is a candidate who understands those issues and is connected to them and in any political contest, that's what you want," Chender said in an interview.
"You want somebody who is connected to their community, who can speak for them and with them, and who is respected. And so we are really pleased that we found a candidate who fits that bill."
