Monday’s federal election saw the Liberal Party win a minority government.
Cathy Scofield-Singh, Liberal candidate for the Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa riding finished third in the voting but is still somewhat pleased with the result.
“Some of the communities have definitely shown that they are liberal and are very supportive of the plan of Justin Trudeau. I’m really excited with all the work the Northwest Metis Region has done, they reached out to all their community members and had done an awesome job.”
She wasn’t surprised by the result, adding this is a conservative area.
Scofield-Singh has a message for her team.
“I really want to thank the Dauphin-Swan River-Neepawa Liberal Association, the team has been fantastic, Crawford Halliday and David Johnson who have helped me, Francis Chartrand and all the executives of the association have been wonderful to me and very supportive in the very short period that we ran. Considering that we really had less than three weeks to campaign in, I think we’ve actually done quite phenomenally.”
She finished with 5,103 votes or 13.2 %.
Scofield-Singh is ecstatic the Liberal Party is in government.
