The NDP candidate for Huron-Bruce has officially launched her campaign. Laurie Hazzard kicked off her election bid in Goderich on Saturday, May 7.
Her campaign office at 53 Hamilton Street in Goderich is open Monday-Saturday. Hazard says she is ready to work for residents on everything from fixing hospitals and schools, to making life more affordable.
“I’m honoured to be the NDP candidate for a place I’m proud to call home here in Huron–Bruce,” said Hazzard. “From making life more affordable to fixing our schools and hospitals, I am ready to work for the people of Huron–Bruce.”
The campaign launch included a special guest, Vanessa Benoit, NDP candidate for Lambton–Kent–Middlesex. “Laurie is the type of candidate who I wish I could vote for,” said Benoit. “She has the experience, knowledge, and the heart to win.”
“Whether you’ve voted for the NDP all your life or you’ve never before, visit us and see how we can work together to improve the lives of everyone in Huron–Bruce,” said Hazzard.
Hazzard is a former nurse, educator, and school administrator and has called Bayfield home for the past 20 years.
In addition to the Huron–Bruce NDP team and community members, the event was attended by the Bayfield Ukulele Society who provided live entertainment. Hazzard, a member of the club, joined in for a performance of Patsy Cline’s Walkin' After Midnight.
