ESTEVAN - A fourth candidate has joined the field for the Estevan-Big Muddy constituency in the upcoming provincial election.
The Saskatchewan United Party (SUP) announced on its website last week that Andrew Cey would be its candidate. The party was founded in 2022, and this marks the first time the SUP has had a candidate in this riding.
In his bio on the party's website, it was noted that Cey currently manages a wood elevator handling organic grains, and he enjoys working with farmers and truckers from all across the Prairies. After receiving a diploma in agriculture from the University of Saskatchewan in 1990, Cey has worked all across small-town Saskatchewan.
"He is thankful for his 32-year career in agriculture, learning from others, and having a chance to mentor those working with him," his bio states.
"Andrew has been blessed with having been able to homeschool and successfully raise five children and is now enjoying nine grandchildren. Andrew has devoted his spare time to volunteering at summer Bible camps, various volunteer fire departments, and local service club branches, as well as volunteering to help farmers overseas get established.
"He looks forward to working to steward and use the abundant resources that our province has been gifted with for the benefit of the people of Saskatchewan, and to bring back the values that Saskatchewan was built on, namely truth, freedom and justice."
Incumbent MLA Lori Carr of the Saskatchewan Party, Phil Zajac of the Buffalo Party and Billy Patterson of the Green Party are the other candidates in Estevan Big-Muddy.
According to its website, the SUP had 21 candidates as of Monday afternoon.
The provincial election is slated to occur on or before Oct. 28.
