After a byelection was called for Fort McMurray-Conklin, NDP Candidate Jane Stroud announced she will take a leave of absence from city council during the campaign period.

“I first entered politics because I saw that our region wasn’t getting a fair shake when it came to the infrastructure and services we needed,” said Stroud. “I put my name forward to make our communities better. I have a track record of fighting for our residents, businesses and communities.”

Stroud has been on council for over eight years and stated in a press release that the work that the province has invested in the region inspired her to run.

“The current government is collaborative and has invested in our community with major projects like Willow Square finally getting underway,” said Stroud. “I would not be running if it weren’t for that and Rachel Notley’s strong stand on the Trans Mountain Pipeline and support for our energy industry and good jobs.”

She plans on door knocking to meet with residents throughout her campaign.
