EAST CENTRAL 鈥� A rematch is coming to the Melfort constituency this fall.
Local New Democrats have once again selected聽Lorne Schroeder, a LeRoy area organic beef farmer, to represent them in the upcoming provincial election.
Schroeder ran in the March 1, 2018 byelection to replace Kevin Phillips. He lost against Todd Goudy of the Saskatchewan Party, who is also running again in the Oct. 26 election.
The聽New Democrats held their nomination meeting June 30 online.
鈥淭he Sask. Party is making life more difficult for Saskatchewan people,鈥� said Schroeder in a media release. 鈥淎s we face COVID-19 together, it鈥檚 more important than ever that we have a government that invests in people instead of making life harder with cuts and privatization.鈥�
聽Ryan Meili, the NDP's leader, said聽Schroeder has聽deep roots in the community and is a strong voice for rural Saskatchewan.
鈥淗e鈥檒l be a strong voice for everyone in his constituency whose lives have been made more difficult by the Sask. Party鈥檚 cuts and sell-offs.鈥�
