Huron Bruce PC Riding Association Confirms MPP As Candidate In Next Election

As expected, MPP Lisa Thompson was once again nominated as the Progressive Conservative candidate for Huron-Bruce for the upcoming 2018 provincial election.

Thompson says she is honoured by the support to continue her work toward bringing a PC government to the province in 2018.

Thompson has served the riding since 2011, and is currently the PC Critic on the Environment and Cap and Trade.

She continues to challenge what she calls the flawed cap and trade program.

She says she is hearing from constituents that life is getting harder as hydro rates skyrocket, and new cap and trade fees take effect.

"Our communities are full of hard-working people trying to support their families, seniors and small business, and they deserve to have their voices and concerns heard. Unfortunately, the Liberals just don't seem to care until it costs them votes at the polls," she says. "We need to work together to ensure that we send a strong message to [Premier] Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals in 2018: Huron-Bruce and Ontario have had enough of the mismanagement and waste. We're ready for a government that takes our concerns seriously. We're ready for a Progressive Conservative government."
