Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse announces bid for Alberta NDP leadership
EDMONTON, AB – A rookie legislature member for Alberta’s NDP is making a bid for the party’s top job, promising a campaign focused on climate change and drought.
“I think I’m going to garner support because I’m a new voice and my colleagues have already had their shot at being government,” Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse, 49, said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
“I bring a diverse perspective and a new energy, a new light to the party.”
Calahoo Stonehouse, the MLA for Edmonton-Rutherford, was to make her leadership bid official later Saturday at an event in Lethbridge.
