Liberal candidates Brenda Colenutt and Terry Gabel

The Liberal party has named their Moose Jaw candidates. Brenda Colenutt was born and raised in Moose Jaw and is slated to run in the spring Provincial election in Moose Jaw North against Warren Michelson.

Colenutt says that the Liberal's focus on aboriginals is what drew her to the Liberal party.

"What really drew me to the Liberal party is that they want to work with the aboriginal people, and I work a lot with the aboriginal people. The other parties don't really want to work with them and that's very important to me."

Colenutt says that she feels the Liberal party can improve on some aspects that the current provincial government isn't addressing.

"The people falling through the cracks. When I worked at the Metis office, I dealt with a lot of people falling the cracks, and that hasn't changed. The liberal party plans on working with the aboriginal groups and lower income people to see what they think they need and trying to address those needs."

 

Terry Gabel will be running in Moose Jaw Wakamow against Saskatchewan party incumbent Greg Lawrence, and he says that he feels with Moose Jaw's economy and population growing.. as well as record employment numbers, now is the time to focus on expanding our economy.

"And when times are good, I think those are the times we should be focusing on diversifying our economy, and that's something that I haven't seen a lot of."

Gabel says that he wants to focus on protecting individuals and their rights.

"I think there are a lot of people who are disenfranchised with the system. I think a lot of them are lower income people, and I am a lower income person, so I understand where they're coming from."

Gabel hopes to bring a unique voice to the provincial election scene.
