Beth lives in her brother’s district of Windsor Lake and voted for him in the byelection he won last September
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — As the son of retired political heavyweight John Crosbie, Ches Crosbie presents Newfoundlanders and Labradorians with a familiar name as he seeks to become the province’s next premier in the May 16 election.
Beth said she’s been impressed watching her older brother, a lawyer who became party leader a year ago, step into public life. She said she’s confident he’ll make a great premier, but she waved away the suggestion that Ches inspired her to enter the race. While Ches is touring the province, Beth has been focusing her efforts on door-knocking in her district of Virginia Waters-Pleasantville.
She said it’s too early to say what kind of role she’d take on if elected, but she’d be glad to pitch in on initiatives to bring more young people and women into politics, or in the area of culture and tourism.
