After 3 successful elections, Conservative MP Robert Sopuck has announced he isn’t seeking election in 2019.
During his time in federal politics, he chaired the Conservative hunting and angling caucus and also served as a member of the standing committees for the environment and sustainable development and for fisheries and oceans.
Sopuck tells 730 CKDM some of the reasons he has decided to not run a 4th time.
“It’s a whole bunch of reasons. I’ve gone through 3 elections: a by-election in 2010, a general election in 2011 and the general in 2015. So that’s quite a few elections in a fairly short amount of time. I felt that two terms for me as an MP was probably the best for me.”
Sopuck is happy to have served for 2 full terms in federal politics and says it’s time for him to go back to his farm south of the Park and enjoy the life his wife and himself have built.
In the last election, he won 46.4 percent of the vote.
