The Manitoba NDP has nominated three candidates to run again in the upcoming provincial election.

Eric Redhead was nominated in Thompson on Saturday.  He is the MLA for the constituency since winning the by-election in June 2022 and is currently the Critic for Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation.

On Sunday, Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey was given the nod again to represent the NDP.

As the NDP Critic for Labour, Lindsey is a strong advocate for better safety on Northern roads and has introduced a bill to hold the government accountable for regular maintenance and snow removal.  

And yesterday in The Pas, NDP MLA Amanda Lathlin received her nomination.

Lathlin was the first First Nations woman election to the Manitoba Legislature when she first won her seat in 2015.

She has introduced bills to give parents 3 days of paid bereavement leave after a miscarriage or stillbirth,  and help young victims of sexual assault access health care in their home communities, so they don’t have to travel to Winnipeg.  

The provincial election is slated for October 3rd.
