Colter Simmonds to run as NDP candidate in Preston byelection
“. . .
‘Colter is going to fight’
NDP leader Claudia Chender was at Thursday’s event and said she and Simmonds have known each other since before she entered into politics.
“Colter is going fight to make sure that everyone in this community has access to healthy and affordable food, through initiatives that we’ve been fighting for like creating a universal school food program. Making sure that small affordable grocers can open. And with a few grocery stores in the area, removing the rules that prevent the opening of those kind of stores. We know this is a need, we hear this everywhere we go.”
“We know that with Colter in our caucus we will continue to press the government to address environmental racism, uneven access to justice, housing, education, health care, and employment. We know that these are your issues and you know that Colter’s going to fight for them.”
