THUNDER BAY — Yuk-Sem Won and the federal NDP are hoping the third time will be the charm in the Thunder Bay-Rainy River riding.
While NDP leader Jagmeet Singh was in town earlier this week, it was announced that Won has been nominated as the party's candidate in Thunder Bay-Rainy River.While there's no election looming in the immediate future, nominating Won for the 40,000 square kilometre riding now will give her time to connect with constituents.
"The amount of dedication and work to do this job properly, I need that time to make the connections with the community to continue the relationships and the bridges that I've started building in past elections and to really make sure that I am aware of the issues connected with the people when election time comes," she said.
"It's an absolute honour to be the candidate again, to have the support of not only the people, but the party." Won has ran twice for the NDP in the federal riding, finishing third in both of the 2019 and 2021 elections. Most recently, she ran in the Neebing ward in last year's Thunder Bay municipal election, where she placed second.
