On Tuesday, Northern Manitoba NDP MP Niki Ashton (Churchill—Keewatinook Aski) was in Portage-Lisgar to lend a helping hand to local candidate Lisa Tessier-Burch and to talk about how the NDP will fight to put money back in people’s pockets.
“I’m proud to stand with Lisa Tessier-Burch who is giving Portage-Lisgar voters a progressive choice. Lisa Tessier-Burch can be a strong voice for the people of Portage-Lisgar in the House of Commons. She is someone who will stand up for the help people need to get by like pharmacare, dental care and homes they can afford,” said Ashton.
MP Ashton spent the day alongside Lisa Tessier-Burch meeting with Manitobans tired of the partisan bickering of Liberals and Conservatives.
“The Conservatives have taken Portage-Lisgar for granted for too long. People across Manitoba know firsthand that when you elect New Democrats, we get results,” said Tessier-Burch. “Manitobans are struggling, and New Democrats have fought hard for them. Whether it's getting people dental care, or putting money in their pockets to help with groceries, we’ve delivered.”
Lisa Tessier-Burch and her family live in Portage la Prairie. She is an educator, active in her community.
