REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is confirming what has been widely expected – the provincial election campaign starts Tuesday.

Moe says in a post on social media that he plans to ask Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty to dissolve the legislature, launching the campaign with voting day on Oct. 28.

Moe’s Saskatchewan Party is seeking a fifth straight majority after spending 17 years in office.

Moe says he’s running on his record of growing the economy while making investments in education and health care.

Beck is promising a break on the gas tax and removing the provincial sales tax on children’s clothes and some grocery items, along with more spending on health care and education.

Polls suggest a tightening race between the two parties, with the NDP seeing greater support in Regina and Saskatoon, while the Saskatchewan Party remains strong in rural areas.
