Kate Dupuis nominated to be the Ontario NDP candidate in Beaches – East York

TORONTO – New Democrats in Beaches – East York came together to nominate Kate Dupuis, long time BEY resident, health care professional, and champion for seniors, to be the Ontario NDP candidate in Beaches – East York for the next election.

“I am excited and ready to join Marit Stiles and the Ontario NDP to fight for what matters most to the community of Beaches – East York: good schools, affordable homes, reliable health care, and a more affordable life,” said Dupuis. “We have seen a complete lack of respect for older Ontarians and their primary care partners, and we know that healthcare has never been more inaccessible for our communities than ever before. Decades of Liberal and Conservative governments have completely neglected the real needs of Ontarians. It’s time for a government who will put Ontarians first, and that government is the NDP, with Marit Stiles as our next premier!”

“Kate has been an incredible advocate for seniors, families, and health care in her community,” said Marit Stiles, Ontario NDP Leader. “We need Kate’s voice at Queen’s Park, standing up for Beaches–East York as part of our team. Together, we can turn the page on the Ford era and deliver a brighter future for Ontario.”
