Shannon Phillips to co-chair Kathleen Ganley’s NDP leadership campaign
The MLA for Lethbridge-West is not seeking to become the new leader of the Alberta NDP, but will play a role in the leadership race.
The assistant for Shannon Phillips confirmed to LNN that Phillips, along with Calgary-Bhullar-McCall MLA Irfan Sabir, will serve as a co-chair in Kathleen Ganley’s bid to lead the party.
In her official endorsement, Philips said she has had the pleasure of working alongside Ganley for years.
“She is incredibly intelligent, kind and views the world through the lens of what would be best for her own kid, my kids and a bright future for all Albertans. She is an experienced leader and has become a confidant and a close friend of mine over our time in Government and Opposition,” said Phillips.
