The Green Party candidate in the Riding Mountain constituency is the focus of today's election profile.

Liz Clayton is semi-retired, but still serves as an Educational Assistant.

She also spends her winters growing greens in her nutrition greenhouse on her property.

Because of that, food security and land use are among the issues she focuses on in this election.

"Also, issues that are facing Manitoba as a whole, such as depopulation of some of our rural communities, the loss of services, and the great distances we have to travel to maintain our social structure."

With affordability a major issue among many voters in this election, Clayton thinks we need to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor in this country.

"The Green Party has some policies for fair taxation.  We would alleviate taxes for anyone making less than $40,000 a year,  And at the very top 0.5 per cent, we would increase taxes to make up for the offset.  And just try to spread it around a little more."

Election day is set for Monday.
