News Release
Ont. NDP

More than 100 members of the Kenora-Rainy River NDP gathered in Fort Frances last Monday evening to nominate their candidate for the upcoming provincial election. Two party members were vying for the nomination: Sarah Campbell, from Oxdrift and Robert Sinding from Kenora.
The vote in Fort Frances, was the final in a series of five traveling ballot box meetings in Sioux Lookout, Dryden, Red Lake and Kenora, After all the votes were tallied, Oxdrift’s Sarah Campbell was named the party’s candidate for Kenora-Rainy River.
“I’m overwhelmed with the outpouring of support,” Campbell said following her win.
“This election is about choices and I’m confident that an orange wave is going to sweep across Kenora-Rainy River once again and across the province,” she said. “Dalton McGuinty has neglected his duties as premier and destroyed our northern economy. Voters want nothing to do with Tim Hudak and his Mike Harris clones who started the downward spiral.”
Campbell says she plans to hit the ground running and will be back knocking on voters’ doors tomorrow morning. “I’m looking forward to the campaign, and most importantly, speaking to the voters in our riding about their concerns -- concerns that I will take to Queen’s Park on their behalf,” she said.
The Fort Frances nomination gala was attended by Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath, Kenora-Rainy River Member of Provincial Parliament Howard Hampton and Thunder Bay-Rainy River Member of Parliament John Rafferty who each addressed those in attendance.
